Thank you, Senator Green. You're exactly right, Queenslanders do want cleaner, cheaper and more reliable power, and that's what hardworking Queenslanders are getting from the Albanese and Miles governments. I do have to give some credit also to the work ethic of the branch members of the LNP over the last few weeks. As I say, there are 173 resolutions for their state conference this weekend, and, let me tell you, there are some absolute doozies in there. There's a motion to ban Indigenous flags at press conferences—that'll do a lot to help cost-of-living issues. There's the old classic: a motion to sell the ABC, because we know privatisation in the media market goes well. And we have a new classic: a motion to abolish the mandatory medical certificate for drivers over the age of 75. LNP members in Queensland thought it was more important to remove medical certificates for elderly drivers than to support Mr Dutton's risky nuclear policy for Queensland. That's because even LNP members know that more nuclear means higher power prices and more blackouts. (Time expired)
