I'll tell you one of the important measures of effective energy action: it's keeping the lights on. It's ensuring Australians don't have to pay the blackout bill. Effective action involves, if you have a windmill and a solar farm, having some backup when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine. That's what's called effective. But ideology and idiocy have been the hallmarks of the Labor Party's approach to energy. I'll give you another measure of effectiveness: an effective energy policy is one where Australians can afford to pay for energy. Labor's failed on both counts.
