Yes, I do recall that, and I refer the Leader of the Opposition to the correction I made to the answer I gave yesterday. I acknowledge again to this House that I mistook the question asked yesterday by the Leader of the Opposition. I wrongly thought—and I do not mind saying I am wrong when I am wrong, and I have no grounds for complaining about him—he was asking me about the connection between drought and climate change, where I do believe the jury is out. I have to say that I think the evidence of the connection to which he referred is very strong. That is my view, that is what I said yesterday and I repeat it today.
