As a servant to the people of Queensland and Australia, my question is for Senator Birmingham, who is representing the Minister for the Environment and Energy. On Monday, 13 February 2017, Senator Birmingham repeatedly avoided answering my direct and specific questions inviting and requiring specific answers. As a consequence of Senator Birmingham's behaviour over many years in this regard, my questions are shaped so as to be simple and easy to answer. My questions today require only one-word answers—specifically 'yes' or 'no'. My first question to the minister is: do you wholly or in part base your climate and energy policies, as the former Minister for the Environment Greg Hunt stated, on CSIRO's advice—yes or no?
