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?

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.
