Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I ask about the outrageous attempt at censorship by CAD last Friday. Is the minister aware that the Prime Minister of Britain, Mr Tony Blair, who is visiting here at the invitation of Prime Minister Howard, has said that climate change is a greater threat to humanity than terrorism? Will the minister review the ability of CAD to censor advertisements which contain opinion from anybody? Is it not true that if opinion is to be censored in advertisements we will end up with ad-free TV in Australia?
