My question is again to the current Prime Minister. The Australian Industry Group has calculated that achieving the government's 2030 emission reduction targets through government payments under the Emissions Reduction Fund would cost between $100 billion and $250 billion. Does the current Prime Minister consider $250 billion an appropriate price to pay to keep the National Party and the right-wing extremists happy, just to achieve his lifelong ambition to become Prime Minister?
