Chris Bowen (McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Climate Change and Energy) Share this | Hansard source

The Albanese government is getting on with the policy of investing in manufacturing and investing in the energy transition. As the previous ministers have said, we will do so with or without the support of the opposition. It tells the Australian people a lot about the opposition that they're against our policies and they're against their own policies. This is what happens when you have a leader of the opposition with no ideas of his own, with no vision for our country and who is not prepared to act in the national interest. We know that members opposite know that these policies are in the national interest because we read about the shadow cabinet reports. Yet they still vote against them. This is what happens when you have a leader of the opposition who is all opposition and no leader.
