As I said earlier, I support all policies of this coalition government. And as I pointed to earlier, the fundamental difference, and what the Labor Party doesn't seem to understand—maybe the member for Hunter understands it. Maybe there are some others. Maybe Senator Farrell actually agrees with the member for Hunter that you don't achieve good things for the environment by trashing jobs and trashing industries. This is a party that claims to support gas, yet the second we put forward a gas-fired generator—that supports renewables, that backs up renewables—what does the Labor Party do? They oppose it. This side of politics will continue to meet and beat our targets. We will continue to grow our economy. We will continue to reduce emissions while protecting jobs, protecting livelihoods and growing our economy, in stark contrast to those opposite.
