During question time today the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency made the curious claim that I had not responded to the article in today’s papers in relation to the direct action policy. Indeed, I was out on the doors this morning at 8.15 am and I also addressed the issue on Sky television with the Leader of the House. Very briefly I stated:

Overnight, I see they’ve wheeled out the dodgy document again. A year ago we warned about a dodgy document when we launched the direct action policy. Within 24 hours we caught, and I specifically caught, one of Senator Wong’s senior staffers hawking around a two-page dodgy document from officials.

The transcript goes on:

The minister was wrong.

I seek leave to table the transcript.
