Good try, Member for Port Adelaide. Do you know why he doesn't care about coal anymore, Mr Speaker? It's because it has all closed in South Australia! Under this plan, there would have been a much better chance that the Northern power station would still be in operation or, indeed, that something equivalent would be in its place.

Do you know what the great irony is? In the member for Port Adelaide's state, South Australia, as a result of the closure of the Northern power station, they have now been taking more coal-fired power from Victoria.
