Angus Taylor (Hume, Liberal Party, Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the honourable member for his question and I acknowledge his strong commitment to affordable, reliable energy for all Australians while we reach our emission reduction obligations and keep a strong economy. He is right. This week does mark the 70th anniversary of the Snowy Hydro scheme. It is a great time to reflect on that iconic engineering feat and its long history in serving our nation. This week we are also celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Liberal Party. It's important to note that the Snowy scheme is just another incredible achievement of Liberal governments. I have a close personal connection to the Snowy scheme.
