Here we have another little jibe by the minister. Why have I not invited him? I do not need to invite him, but I have certainly spoken to Mr Garrett about these matters, and they are matters which are germane to the discussions between him and me. But Mr Garrett has been very busy. He has been dealing with the issue that this government has refused to adequately deal with for years, and that is the response to the latest iterations of the climate change debate and the fact that this government does not have an adequate response to the climate change issue.
