Well, the contrast couldn't be starker between our plan—our commitment to cleaner, cheaper energy for all Australians—and the risky nuclear reactor gamble of those opposite. From 1 July we're taking $300 off your power bill—real relief starting in seven days time. What are those opposite promising? In two decades—that's right, two decades, or 20 years—Mr Dutton, if it is left to him, will serve up the most expensive form of energy there is and then ask you to pay for it. Unlike those opposite, we understand power prices are a serious issue. Meanwhile, Mr Dutton won't tell Australians how much you'll pay to build his nuclear reactors, how much expensive nuclear reactors will add to your bill or how many nuclear reactors there will be in the Australian community. Meanwhile, the Smart Energy Council's analysis has shown that building the seven nuclear reactors could cost as much as $600 billion of taxpayers' money. (Time expired)
