(—) (): Rewiring the Nation and the cost of that have been outlined in the budget paper since we came to government. Through Rewiring the Nation we're investing in the projects that are required but also in the transmission and how we hook other projects up to the grid. So, in terms of being upfront about what some of those costs are: yes, we have been. I can talk to other projects where those costs are outlined in the budget papers. But there is no doubt, whichever way you try to slice and dice it or confuse it or pretend it's otherwise, that renewables are the cheapest form of energy. The world is shifting to renewables, and here we have a so-called plan, a policy of a few pages, that doesn't say how much it costs, doesn't say how they will do it and doesn't say when they will do it. What a joke! You had 22 policies in government and you couldn't land one. You have one in opposition and you can't land that. (Time expired)
