As I was saying, Dr Alan Finkel, the Chief Scientist, said:

I think that existing coal, and new coal, with CCS, is a very legitimate low emissions technology.

Dr Daniel Roberts from the CSIRO said, 'We really think that if you get some good high-efficiency low-emission coal-fired power stations as part of the grid that is a really good way of maximising the amount of renewables.' You would think, therefore, that the Greens would also be supporting these new technologies. (Time expired)
