The good news is that under the coalition there will be more coal and gas in the energy mix than under the Labor Party. That is good news for the member for Shortland. That's good news for the member for Hunter. What was his name, Mr Speaker? What was the member for Hunter's name? It's also good news for the member for Newcastle. It's also good news for the member for Herbert. The good news is that we will have more coal and gas under the coalition than we will get under the Labor Party. Under the National Energy Guarantee coal and gas will be 64 to 72 per cent by 2030. Under the Labor Party, what will that be—that is, thermal generation, synchronous generation? It will be only 39 per cent. That's no good for the jobs in the member for Shortland's electorate. But it doesn't matter about jobs anymore; he's forgotten them. It doesn't matter about jobs in the member for Hunter's electorate anymore, because he's forgotten them.
