That was in relation to what was being put at the time, if I recall correctly, about some sort of linear trajectory—and there is no such linear trajectory to 2050. That's not what our plan relies on. Those opposite might think that a linear trajectory is how it works, but not those on this side of the House. On this side of the House, we know that you have to invest in the technologies, many of which will have long lead times, that will ensure that the 2030 targets—that we will not only meet but also beat—will set us up well for the future in further reducing emissions. You need to follow the technology path here.

You can take one of two paths. You can go down the path of ensuring that technologies become more affordable and invest in them, providing more choices to consumers so they can lead the process—

or you can follow the path that the Labor Party tried to follow the last time they were in government.
