The fact is that those in the renewables sector understand the importance of a scheme which places a price on carbon and which recognises the costs of climate change for the first time. It may have escaped those opposite, but I again say: what this scheme will do is drive investment in renewable energy. That is why that sector of the economy is projected to grow by 30 times. It is interesting—isn’t it?—that they want to be both green and brown, depending on what they think suits them. The reality is that you have to have a consistent policy position, and the only thing consistent about your policy position is that it is all about Mr Turnbull shoring up his job ahead of Peter Costello.
