When you have a cheaper form of energy, energy prices will go down. It's not hard to understand. But not only did they have 22 energy policies and not land a single one when they were in office; they now have come up with a new one. It isn't renewables; it's nuclear power. The shadow minister is looking at the nuclear option. No-one likes a reactor like a reactionary! No-one likes a reactor like a reactionary.

Remember, the last term when they were in government, they came in here and carried around a lump of coal. Remember that? They handed it around, the member for New England and the member for Cook. I'll give them this bit of advice now they're going down the nuke option. I'll give them a bit of advice: don't bring in a bit of uranium and pass it around, because that won't work well. If I don't do anything else for you today, for the sake of this chamber, don't do it.
