There are 228 from New South Wales alone. And so the signs are a very good prospect for the next auction.

But we compare that with a system that is working, as opposed to what the ALP wants to do. We know that on their own modelling of their own policy when they were in government that the Treasury found it was likely to cost, for their current targets, $600 billion by 2030. So $600 billion is the cost of their policy. They ought to come clean and reveal that cost, because we are reducing emissions; we are doing it whilst decreasing electricity prices and they want to drive them up. (Time expired)
