Thank you very much. I can see why they don't want to hear this. They promised it would be $70; it was $93. And guess what it was: $341—missed by this much! It was missed by just $271.25! They promised $70 and delivered $341. And now, in their opposition to the cheapest form of energy—renewables—they've come up with the most expensive as the solution: nuclear power. Putting the member for Fairfax in charge of a review on nuclear power bears an uncanny resemblance to Mr Burns putting Homer Simpson in charge of nuclear power safety in Springfield! No-one loves a reactor like a reactionary, so it's no wonder they're so obsessed by nukes over there.

The truth is, renewables are the cheapest. We will deliver increased renewables into the system. (Time expired)
