We are most determined to protect jobs. Jobs are our prime concern. As the Leader of the Opposition should know, the best way to ensure that overall we protect jobs is to ensure that the renewable energy target is appropriately adjusted. I am happy and the Minister for Industry is happy to sit down with the opposition to try to ensure that we can give not only certainty to our power generators but also certainty to the workers of Australia that their jobs are safe, because this is a government that wants to keep power prices down.
