House debates Questions without Notice
Advertising Campaigns
Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition

My question again is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm whether or not the theme of his non-existent taxpayer funded television advertising campaign on climate change is entitled ‘Climate Clever’? Given that the Prime Minister and his government are self-confessed climate change sceptics, isn’t this campaign just a little too clever by half?
John Howard Bennelong, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
I can assure the Leader of the Opposition that it will not be called ‘double standards’ out of hypocrisy. I can certainly inform him that, beyond that, I do not have anything to add to the previous answers that I have given.
