Obviously the election is almost upon us, and the Liberal ad machine is in full swing. They've got 24 ads running all around the country; 24 of their finest bits of material are running on social media. You'd think, if they've got 24 ads, one of them would have their largest policy offering. You'd think that, out of 24, they could sneak in one of their largest policy offerings. But not one of their 24 social-media ads even mentions the word 'nuclear'. It's like these people don't want to talk about the fact that they want to spend $600 billion on a crazy energy plan.

But it doesn't end there. It seems like the head isn't talking to the mouth over there, because the Leader of the Opposition famously came out a week ago and said he wants another referendum; he wants a referendum, to be able to strip citizenship off Australians. Now, you'd think they'd all get around him and back him in: 'Let's get around the boss and back him in.' So it was quite surprising when the shadow Treasurer did all the media runs and had something else to say; he said that a referendum to deport dual-citizen criminals is 'not coalition policy'. Now that's really backing in the boss over there!

On this side of the House, we're united. We're focused. And we're going to deliver renewables for all Australians.
