What is most concerning about the position of the member for Hunter is that he has declared that not only is he in favour of AGL's plans but he's been part of them. He says: 'Andy Vesey has had these plans on the books for a long time. I've been very aware of them. I've been supporting them since 2015. He said he needs to put the final touches on the plan before bringing it back to the Prime Minister. It's a good plan'—it's the Vesey-Fitzgibbon plan. That'll go down really well at the workers club in Muswellbrook, I can tell you. There it is.

The reality is that the people that pay the cost for this incompetent Labor policy are the people of Australia—the businesses of Australia and families of Australia. They're the ones that have to pay the blackout bill.
