Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) | Hansard source

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I certainly am. These days the modern Liberal Party is against business having a voice. It's quite interesting. It's quite perceptive. This is what Jeff Dimery had to say:

We don't have time to get distracted by fringe voices anymore, or to get lost in the 'gonnas'—

…   …   …

We have to work with what we know today.

Nuclear is kind of like looking for unicorns in the garden. Energy Australia have said that they're 'committed to Australia's clean energy transformation, reducing emissions as quickly and affordably as possible while maintaining system reliability'. Origin said, 'Our primary focus is adding more supply from these mature low-emissions technologies.' AGL said that nuclear energy was not part of the company's plans, and:

AGL's ambition to add 12 gigawatts of additional renewable and firming capacity by the end of 2035 does not include nuclear energy.

No-one serious takes the opposition's plan seriously. It was done on the back of a beer coaster without any costing, without any detail and without any substance. (Time expired)
