The Climate Commission will fulfil a key information and education role, enabling the Australian community to have a more informed conversation about climate change" said Professor Tim Flannery."
Hello, Tim? Australia is already having a more informed discussion.
Here's a challenge for you Tim, you can retain the casting vote, but how about electing a committee of 4 - 2x 2 scientists each of opposing opinions on climate change. Then report periodically the for and against together with your policy decisions presenting the results of the discussions and how/why you decided on each of them - making it subject to public scrutiny.
Take a leaf from HC discussions on the matter - this should end well ....
