You can see one of the obstacles from the contempt of those sitting opposite us, who don't take seriously the type of action that needs to be taken in terms of the retail markets to get information to Australian households; who don't take seriously the type of action that can be taken to keep the likes of Liddell open; who don't take seriously the type of new investment in facilities such as Snowy 2.0 that is being undertaken; who don't take seriously or help to expedite the processes that we're putting in place to fix the gaming of the network systems. Then you look at the Labor states and you can see the disastrous policies in South Australia; the ignorance of the Victorian Labor government in the way in which they're just setting and following the trends of South Australia; and the Queensland government, which see no end to the types of profits they think they can suck out of the energy system from their state-owned generators, and, of course, in doing so are charging Queensland energy customers a whole lot more. They're the risks. We're delivering the solutions. (Time expired)
