We had nine years of a Liberal-National government during which we had 22 stop-start energy policies and three gigawatts of dispatchable energy exit the grid without being replaced. I hardly think those opposite are in a position to be providing a way forward on our energy issue. Then, of course, when we introduced our Energy Price Relief Package, you would not support a package to reduce the price on people's hip pocket and take down prices. We saw prices skyrocket and they started under the opposition government. In our attempts to bring it down, you all vote against it because you would rather invest in very, very expensive nuclear energy.

I would love a medal, thank you, Senator Canavan. If you could make me one that would be great.
