Senator CHRIS EVANS (Western Australia—Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:11): Can I indicate that I have also seen polls that show most Australians believe that the Martians have landed on the Earth at some stage. One has got to be careful about what polls one reads and what conclusions one draws from them. Senator Joyce interjecting— Senator CHRIS EVANS: Senator Joyce, there has been a suggestion that you might represent the progeny of that landing; there has been a suggestion to that effect but , of course, I could not possibly comment. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Evans, wait a moment and then I will give you the call. When there is silence on both sides we will proceed. Senator CHRIS EVANS: The serious point to make is that there are a multitude of opinion surveys, polls, which generally reflect the views of those who have sought to commission them, in my experience. But, no, the government will not be determining its policy position based on this or any other polls. That is not the appropriate way of governing. This government will continue to pursue evidence based good public policy and we will make our decisions based on what we think are the right public policies to pursue.
