The member for Throsby earlier said that I had sought to impose a new definition of ‘sceptic’. The definition I gave of ‘sceptic’ yesterday was quoted from the Oxford English Dictionarythat is:
... a person inclined to question or doubt accepted opinions.
The Macquarie Dictionary definition is similar. It is:
... someone who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be knowledge.
The only people seeking to create a new definition of a sceptic are the opposition.
