My question is to the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction. The New South Wales energy minister has said of the government's spending on a gas power plant: 'the government—

should be upfront with the Australian public. Someone's got to pay for it. So why would they be exposing taxpayer dollars … for infrastructure that's not needed?

If the government won't listen to its own energy experts who universally oppose this spending, won't he at least listen to his New South Wales colleague?
