I withdraw the comment that related directly to the Prime Minister being a fraud and I will leave that for other people to judge outside of this chamber. Senator Brandis knows very well that it is not indeed the Prime Minister who is able to call the shots in his own government right now; that it is the right wing grumps on the backbench of the coalition government who are driving this ideological crusade against renewable energy and, of course, making the Prime Minister look weaker than ever. At a time when we should be investing in renewable energy, when the sector needs as much support as possible, we have a Prime Minister missing in action. If you want to see energy security in our state, invest in battery storage and invest in the solar thermal plant in Port Augusta.

Question agreed to.
