I'll pick up where I left off. The reality is that the investor community, the business community, is well ahead of those opposite. It says something about the delusion of a party that goes to an election saying: 'We had 22 policies for 2050. We had no investment certainty, so there was no investment in the energy sector, but guess what? We now, after the election, know better than all of the investor community, all of the business representatives and all of the businesses in this country, who are seeking certainty from the parliament and from the government.' Can I say what an abrogation of responsibility it has been that a party of government has left it to the crossbench and the Greens—we welcome their support, but what does it say about those opposite? As a party of government that says, 'We support 2050'—they're the 'no-alition'; they're nowhere. (Time expired)
