My question is to the Prime Minister. It is reported today that the Business Council of Australia has said that if there is not a clean energy target, what is the alternative? They have said that if Australia continues to do nothing we will continue to pay higher prices and have a less secure electricity supply. Does the Prime Minister agree, and will the Prime Minister now commit to work with Labor in the national interest to end the policy paralysis which has led to higher electricity prices and instability in the energy market?
