We do have a plan on this side of the House. It's a plan that has been legislated, a plan for net zero by 2050, a plan for a 43 per cent reduction by 2030. The Capacity Investment Scheme is a plan to drive investment in renewables; the safeguard mechanism that was thought of by former minister Greg Hunt, but which we have legislated as well. We have done that because we know that the cheapest form of new energy is renewables. And Australia is home to some of the greatest sources of renewable energy in the world: sunshine and wind—and the Leader of the Opposition's anger and negativity, a great source of renewable energy that has no end and that is used every single day. We saw it last week, when he made an announcement and then three days later gave a speech to the Liberal Party Federal Council that was full of abuse.
