Response to New South Wales floods of 2013

At a media conference O'Farrell was asked about the possible link between the New South Wales floods and climate change. "Let's not turn this near disaster, this episode that has damaged so many properties and other things, farm properties and other things, into some politically correct debate about climate change. Give me a break,” he said.
