It is a ridiculous and I will repeat: these are climate change deniers on the other side of this House. It is an entirely legitimate phrase. It is an appropriate phrase to use about those on the other side of the House who do not accept the science of climate change, and they need to start accepting the science of climate change. The member for Cook is lending his assistance to the ridiculous suggestions put forward on the other side of this House. We are acting on climate change and will continue to do so. (Time expired)
