I thank Senator Hanson-Young for the question. What she has demonstrated again with that question is that she wants to bring national the experiment by the former South Australia Labor government. That is what the Greens would like to see. They would like to see the Australian people not having the energy they need to support jobs, to support the economy and to support their ability to live in the kind of comfort that many of us have come to expect, including the Greens. I am always interested in the lecturing tone from the Greens, who never lead by example. I am reminded of a local Green who said, 'We want to take you back to the caves, just not yet.' They are prepared to enjoy all of the abundant energy sources we have. We're bringing down energy prices; that's what we've been doing. We're not going to take advice from the Greens which would destroy our economy. (Time expired)
