The Albanese government's plan is supported by the independent advice of the CSIRO and the Australian Energy Market Operator, and they confirm that the lowest-cost plan for a reliable energy plan is world-leading renewables like solar and wind firmed with batteries, pumped hydro, flexible gas and transmission. That's the way towards reliability and more affordable electricity prices.

Meanwhile, what we have on the other side is Mr Dutton's nuclear fairy tale. We know, and experts have clearly said, that the plan that those opposite are touting will increase bills, will cost taxpayers billions, will risk the reliability of the grid and won't be delivered on time. What a great plan from the people who gave us 22 failed plans in government! They've come up with another failed plan. It's a guaranteed energy reliability crisis. That's what they are providing. They are the party of high prices and less reliability. (Time expired)
