I want to be really clear and say that the very last person on earth that I will be lectured by about energy prices is the member for Fairfax. The last people who took the member for Fairfax seriously on energy prices used to sit over there, and now they watch question time from home. That was the madness of the nuclear meltdown that the member for Fairfax was responsible for, and the pure madness of it was that he wanted to waste hundreds of billions of dollars building nuclear reactors that would push energy prices up, not down. We saved the Australian people from his madness.
