As I said yesterday, the Labor Party does not really believe in free speech. There are many eminent scientists internationally who question the extent to which anthropogenic activity is contributing to global warming—and you will not allow any of that to occur. You have people in your own ranks who doubt the extent to which anthropogenic global warming is occurring, but you will not allow them to express their views. We respect the right of the Dennis Jensens of the world to express their views. But they know, and I know, the government’s policy; and the government policy is to work internationally to achieve greenhouse gas reductions which do not destroy the Australian economy like your policies would.
