“If they still think the existence of human-caused global warming is up for debate, then maybe we should go right back to whether the earth is round or flat,” said Greens Deputy Leader and climate change spokesperson, Senator Larissa Waters on Thursday.
“The Government has already established a Wind Farm Commissioner to look into a syndrome that no credible health body or medical journal in the world thinks exists. A Flat Earth Commissioner could play an equally useful role.”
The Greens’ satirical motion, clearly designed to ridicule the ultra-conservative and climate sceptic Liberal core, also suggests the PM’s business advisor, Maurice Newman, should appear before the Inquiry to discuss whether the ‘round Earth theory’ is in fact a UN hoax.
