he federal government
has dropped its offer to spend $4 million on a research centre to be headed by
climate change "contrarian" Bjorn Lomborg.
Education Minister Simon Birmingham said his predecessor
Christopher Pyne made the decision in the last week of his tenure, which would
have been when Malcolm Turnbull deposed Tony Abbott as leader of the Liberal
Party. It came to light that the idea for government funding of the centre had
originated from Abbott's office, with Pyne tasked with finding a University to
host the centre in return for $4 million in government funding.
