My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. It is now over two months since Dr Finkel handed down his report which stated:

There is an urgent need for a clear and early decision—

on a clean energy target. After two months, Minister Frydenberg said there is:

… no need to rush this decision …

Can the minister explain to Australian energy consumers struggling with the high cost of energy why there is no rush to resolve the government's policy paralysis?
