Malcolm Roberts (Queensland, Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party) Share this | Hansard source

My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Environment and Energy, Senator Birmingham. As servants to the people of Queensland and Australia, I and people in the One Nation party have repeatedly advocated the need for lower energy prices. These prices are out of control, and an understanding of energy production and its supposed market is clear: it is being distorted by subsidies, the renewable energy target, regulations, bureaucracy, politics and vested interests. Senator Hanson-Young made a brave attempt to patch over her failed policies by trying to blame the renewable energy market but did not succeed. Could Minister Birmingham advise the reasons for the Prime Minister's change of mind and the energy minister's change in policy? Is it politically driven or economically motivated?
