We know about the record. There are a lot of calls to talk a bit about the record, but the record is this: under your government, 24 coal-fired power plants announced their closure dates. Labor has a plan—

You did nothing about it, but our plan is to replace that exiting capacity with the cheapest form of energy, and that is firmed renewables. We're delivering. Under Labor we have seen a 25 per cent increase in renewables in the national grid. We've green-lit more than 50 renewable projects, and there have been over 330,000 rooftop solar installations in the last year alone. We are maximising affordable, clean energy, getting our grid to 82 per cent renewables by 2030 and investing in battery storage and transmission to ensure reliable power everywhere.
