I'm speaking very directly about energy and costs and what the risks are of those opposite, because they want to have nuclear power to be deployed as just the latest part of culture wars. But what they want to do is to drive investment away. What we are doing is adding to supply. Indeed, our plan will add 32 gigs to the system by 2030. Rooftop solar today is already generating twice as much energy as their reactors would by 2050. And we've seen a 25 per cent increase in renewables in the national grid. One of the reasons people are doing that in the electorate of Lindsay is to lower their energy bills. Just as it makes sense for households, it makes sense for our national economy as well.
