Senator O’Brien and the Labor Party think it is all right for Minister Hulls and the Labor Party to close down a wind farm at Port Fairy or Ballan, in Labor electorates, but they seem to have trouble with me stopping one in Bald Hills. They seem to think it is all right to go around the same electorate and say, ‘We’ll stop this wind farm,’ and say to all the people of McMillan that Christian Zahra, Mark Latham and Senator O’Brien will stop the wind farm. But, when I did stop it because of scientific evidence and strong advice, that was no good. There are only two words for that sort of approach, and they are ‘rank hypocrisy’.
