Not only do I not accept it, I reject it outright. I absolutely reject it because, as I told you in my answer to your initial question, the renewable energy mix will continue to grow in that range of between 28 per cent and 36 per cent of the energy mix.

But, Senator Di Natale, while I am on my feet, might I take the opportunity to congratulate you because you and the Greens, I must say, have got the Labor Party on the run. You have completely got the Australian Labor Party on the run. We have the government with a clear policy, which will have tangible and meaningful reductions to household electricity prices. We have the Greens, who are committed to an ideologically based policy which has no ambition whatsoever to reduce the price of electricity supply to households. And you have got the Australian Labor Party, a policy-free zone on this issue, chasing after you. A great political victory for you, Senator Di Natale. (Time expired)
