Sussan Ley (Farrer, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Women) Share this | Hansard source

Just in brief, I thank the minister and I thank the Greens and all who will continue to speak on this important bill. I simply want to make a note, in noting that the opposition will be opposing this amendment, how disappointing it is that an agenda that is actually going to take the transition to renewable energy backwards has been proposed by the Greens and accepted by the government.

I simply refer to the remarks of the Prime Minister recently, underscoring without doubt that gas must play a key role in the transition to renewable energy. So your signature manufacturing fund has taken one giant step backwards from a key commitment made by this Prime Minister and relied on by every single manufacturing business in this country. The opposition will be opposing the amendment.
