According to some in this place, the South Australian policies have been so successful, they have worked so well, that the Labor-Greens alliance in this place wants to bring them to Canberra as well. Let's bring what Adelaide has done, let's shut all our coal-fired power stations down, let's have a 50 per cent renewable energy target. That is what the Labor and Greens parties want to bring federally as well. They want to shut all those coal-fired power stations down, and that would put at risk all of our energy security around this country and put jobs at risk too. But, as I suggested the other day, there is hope, because even one in six Greens voters support the Australian government funding a coal-fired power station.
