Chris Bowen (McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Climate Change and Energy) Share this | Hansard source

Again, I should have issued a trigger warning that I was going to mention the CSIRO and science, because they don't like the CSIRO and science. It offends their sensibilities when the CSIRO, one of the world's premier scientific organisations, points out that renewable energy backed by firming and storage is the cheapest form of energy. That's about prices, I say to the Leader of the Opposition. So those opposite don't like renewable energy, they don't like science, and they don't like the CSIRO. I can't help that. What I can help are government policies to help those Australians who need it when it comes to their energy bills, and that's what this government will keep delivering.
