I have received a letter from the honourable member for Page proposing that a definite matter of public importance be submitted to the House for discussion, namely:

This Government's 'renewables only' policy, with industrial wind turbines, solar factories and 28,000 kilometres of new transmission lines, is ripping up agricultural land, pristine wilderness and driving up the cost of living in regional Australia.

I call upon those honourable members who approve of the proposed discussion to rise in their places.

More than the number of members required by the standing orders having risen in their places—

A government member: This will be good.
