'Big call': minister refuses to link drought to climate change on Q&A

Agriculture minister David Littleproud tells ABC audience he doesn't 'give a rats' whether climate change is man-made

The agriculture minister says linking the drought affecting much of Australia to man-made climate change is a "big call" and he does not "give a rats if it's man-made or not".

David Littleproud made the comment on the ABC's Q&A program on Monday, which was filmed in Lismore in the northern rivers region of New South Wales. His comment was booed by the audience.
