My question is to Minister Simon Birmingham, representing Mr Frydenberg. As a servant to the people of Queensland and Australia, I ask: is the minister aware of the Queensland government's destructive 50 per cent renewable energy target by 2030, one of the highest in Australia? With energy security, reliability and prices threatened by policies of the extremist Greens, is the minister aware of the recently released frightening manifesto of the Queensland Labor government that outlines these outrageous policies? Is the minister cognisant of, or even sympathetic towards, the reality that a 50 per cent renewable energy target presents real and present danger to the security, prosperity and health of my home state of Queensland? Can the minister please inform senators how the federal government envisages the subsidies of $10 billion required to attract the companies to build these renewable energy projects being funded? Although the Labor government bizarrely claims energy prices will fall, contrary to all other experiences, how will the minister guarantee prices will not increase?
