My question is to the Leader of the Government, representing the Prime Minister. Today the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation announced the deployment of a solar project in the DeGrussa mine in central Western Australia. Thanks to these institutions clean energy now competes on price with diesel, but our Prime Minister is in Paris refusing to sign up to a communique, one led by the conservative prime minister, John Key, to end fossil fuel subsidies. My question is this: has the Prime Minister done a deal with the National Party to refuse to end those distorting investment decisions in favour of dirty sunset industries and acting as a handbrake on innovation?
