Dont take my word for it: Climate Change Debated in Higgins, Collyer led.
Dr Hamilton was unimpressive. His disconnection with the audience and, it seemed, with the nitty-gritty of climate change politics itself, reached its low point when he insisted that he had never heared of the Climate Change Coalition, much less why they favoured the Democrats in 2007.

“This proposal is no sillier that minister Wong’s nonsense.
Childhood Obesity Condemns Young Australians to a Short, Sick Life. Eat, Drink, Consume, for Soon You Die.
We see no leadership from our government on the issue of childhood obesity.
