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

I refer the honourable member to my previous answer, which was that we have been in constant contact every day, usually more than once a day, with the chief executives of energy companies. They have been telling me that there was uncertainty from mid-April onwards, which is what I've said publicly. And yesterday we went out and confirmed six cancellations or delays—which are not happening now but are scheduled for April—and they largely have been replaced. That is what updating the Australian people factually is about. The alternative is to mislead the Australian people.
