You are correct: it is up to the Selection Committee. But there is a big difference between the previous National Energy Guarantee and one that has a 45 per cent target. The 45 per cent target that you lot over there have is a replica of what we've seen in South Australia. It delivered the highest electricity prices in the entire world, and that is the policy that the Labor Party wants to inflict upon every single Australian. I'd ask you to think about the old age pensioners sitting at home that are unable to heat their homes in winter. You lot don't care one bit about them. Think about the pensioners this summertime that won't be able to cool their houses when it's 40 degrees in Western Sydney. You don't care. If you really cared, you would scrap your 45 per cent target and get on board with the coalition's policy.
