During question time, the Prime Minister responded to my question about the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage denigrating Australians concerned with global warming as latte drinkers. The Prime Minister claimed that the Newspoll I cited was an online poll and sought to minimise its credibility.

I seek leave to table the Newspoll.
