Again, we are committed to bringing the price of electricity down to improve energy reliability and to do so in a way that is appropriately and environmentally efficient. If Senator Di Natale was genuinely interested in all of the specific design features, I would encourage him to address those questions to the minister with the representative portfolio responsibilities in this chamber. But, of course, Senator Di Natale does not appear to be interested in the policy detail, because, if he was interested in the policy detail, he would be supporting a policy framework and a National Energy Guarantee, which is technology agnostic, which is merely focused on increasing the level of investment into energy generation so we can bring down the cost of electricity.

Senator Cameron interjecting —

You're saying Senator Di Natale is on a unity ticket. Is that right? Anyway, I think Senator Di Natale better understands that our approach is technology agnostic. (Time expired)
