Barnaby Joyce, carbon tax speech.

It is nice to see someone in Canberra asking the heretical question, “How much will this tax reduce the temperature?” For those overseas readers, Barnaby was the guy who was pilloried in parliament and the press as an irresponsible fool for suggesting that the USA could stare down the barrel of a financial default. Calls for an apology to him during the ‘debt ceiling’ crisis have been met by the sounds of crickets chirping.
