Let me just say right up front: Mr Taylor is an outstanding minister. The reason the Labor Party attacks him is that he is very effective in bringing down the price of electricity as well as bringing down emissions in a way that is economically responsible. The second point I would make is that I will never take the words of the Labor Party to describe what is actually happening. What the Prime Minister has indicated appropriately to the House of Representatives is that he will make the appropriate inquiries and, of course, make the appropriate judgements if and as required.
