That's the most significant point they've made today. Here's what Andrew McKellar of ACCI said. We're quoting business leaders such as Mr Walton; here's Andrew McKellar, not a Labor branch member as far as I am aware:

Past failure … has crimped certainty for industry and investors, and left our energy sector in disarray. Australian businesses and households are now paying the price.

Indeed they are, as a result of the failure by those opposite to set Australia up for the present, let alone plan for the future. That is what we inherited. Those are the problems that we are solving. That's why we have a positive plan going forward. Those opposite have no detail about how many reactors or about how much the cost will be. They just have rhetoric, which is all about delaying the investment that we need. (Time expired)
