I wonder if the member for Melbourne knows that it takes 220 tonnes of coking coal to make a wind turbine and a dozen metals and minerals to make a solar panel.

The member for Port Adelaide, the Leader of the Opposition, the member for Sydney and the member for Watson do not have any idea who the Australian Energy Market Operator is, they do not have any idea what the powers of the federal government are, they do not have any idea what the state government's responsibilities are, and they do not have any idea of what the impacts of blackouts on households and businesses are. In fact, the member for Port Adelaide flippantly described those blackouts in South Australia as a 'hiccup'.
