Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Climate Change and Water) Share this | Hansard source

I do not know if Senator Boswell has met CT—Mr Trevor—but he is not really somebody you would be able to shut up even if you wanted to. And the fact is that if the good senator looks, for example, at some of the local papers this week I know he will see that Ms Livermore has spoken about these issues. These MPs continue to put their views to government, they continue to represent their constituents assiduously, and it is not unusual for government to provide a response to a range of questions through the relevant frontbencher. But the issue here is that what we have on the other side is a willingness to do anything and say anything to avoid acting on climate change. That is the position of Senator Boswell. That is the position of many people on that side of the chamber. (Time expired)
