Thank you, Mr President. I'm sure those three blokes in the pub will be terribly offended at what I have to call them now!

But what is their solution? They believe in and applaud the closure of Hazelwood. They hope for the closure of Liddell. And what is their solution to this fairytale? Perhaps they'll ask their mate from South Australia. They call him 'Windmill'. Their answer is dirty, expensive diesel generators. But we are working to keep Liddell open and maintain baseload power in this country. We will continue to work hard for families across Australia to put downward pressure on power prices.
