Scott Morrison (Cook, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

Under our government, we have now one of the highest rates of solar panels on people's roofs of any country in the world and, under our government's policy, we know the future of emissions reduction and renewable energy is achieved through technology, not taxation. We know you achieve it not by putting people's electricity prices up. We know that you don't put more taxes on it. And we know that you don't wipe out jobs in regional Australia, because of the approaches that those opposite would have applied to the Australian people had they been elected at the last election. The Minister for Resources and Northern Australia is an electrical engineer. He could write on a postage stamp what the Leader of the Opposition would know about this issue compared to the new minister. What we have in the minister for resources is someone who understands the importance of our resources industry.
