Scott Morrison brought a lump of coal into parliament as a prop against climate policy. [2]
Tony Abbott:
> “I think it is worth stating that the anthropogenic global warming thesis, at least in its more extreme forms, is both ahistorical and utterly implausible,” Abbott said at the launch of a report on energy by the Institute of Public Affairs on Tuesday.
> “And I think that needs to be repeated. Ladies and gentlemen, the climate cult will eventually be discredited.” [3]
