I refer the minister to the recently released review by Dr Alan Finkel into the future security of the national electricity market, which, Minister, I say up-front I have not read. But I rely on the member for Shortland and the member for Port Adelaide who I know are more familiar with the report. I notice that the member for Warringah has been free in his commentary on the Finkel review without having read it. I recall that when the member for Warringah was Prime Minister he oversaw the closure of three coal-fired power stations. He seems to have forgotten some of that. In the spirit of good government—and I note the gasp of surprise from the member Corangamite at the idea of good government—I am hoping that the Turnbull government will be doing all that it can solve this energy crisis that has engulfed the country under this government.
