The Leader of the Opposition has been in favour of an emissions intensity scheme; he's been in favour of a clean energy target. The only thing they've got in common is that he doesn't understand how either of them works! He doesn't know the difference between a renewables target and an emissions reduction target—one slogan after another. I say to the Leader of the Opposition: we will deliver a careful energy plan based on engineering and economics, designed to deliver the triple bottom line of affordability, reliability and meeting our international commitments. And that is in stark contrast to the ideology and the idiocy that have been inflicted on us for years by the Australian Labor Party.
