I just noticed that someone (not me) posted this in wikipedia:
"During the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 (COP15), Plimer spoke at a rival conference in Copenhagen for sceptics, called the Copenhagen Climate Challenge,[21] which was organised by a U.S. lobby group.[22] While COP15 attracted 33,200 delegates, the rival sceptic conference was attended by 60 people (15 journalists, 18 speakers, 27 audience).[21] According to Lenore Taylor of The Australian, the attendees had an average age "well over 60".[23] In closing his speech, Plimer stated that “They’ve got us outnumbered, but we’ve got them outgunned, and that’s with the truth.”[21] Plimer also stated that "It's been freezing in Perth and bucketing down". In fact, Perth had below average rainfall in 2009, and, as Plimer spoke, temperatures in Perth reached 38 °C (100 °F).[24]"

And I am as free to point out the allegiances of Plimer as the next person. Can't see that CSIRO scientists have been put on notice of any "party line" - the same scientists have been working away under governments of both persuasions - it hasn't changed the research findings. Climate change is not a party political issue.
