Angus Taylor (Hume, Liberal Party, Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction) Share this | Hansard source

Transmission projects are a critical part of ensuring we maintain a reliable, affordable grid, and we are committed to them. That's why we're supporting every major transmission project in the National Electricity Grid, whether it's Marinus Link—and I know the Tasmanians here strongly support that—whether it's PEC from South Australia, HumeLink or VNI West. These are our focus. We've got the multibillion-dollar balance sheet of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation supporting it. That's why we're seeing electricity prices coming down as we've reduced our emissions by over 20 per cent since 2005.
