It's always great to come in and do an MPI, particularly on something as important as household energy prices. The one consistent thing we have from those opposite is that the truth is never coming from their lips. We hear it all the time. We've heard the '$2 ScoMo' and we've heard all the nuclear stuff from Smithers over there about what's going to happen. Never ever do we hear where they want to put nuclear. They just say, 'Oh, we want to do it, but we don't know where.' They'll never name a site. The last time they were in government, you know where they named a site for nuclear power? Puckapunyal Army base—imagine that! It's the only live firing range in Australia, and those opposite wanted to put a nuclear power plant there. Absolute Einsteins! It's so bad that they could never get through a single sentence.
