My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Abetz. I refer to the government's review of the renewable energy target that will soon be handed down. I also refer to comments by Andrew Thomson, Managing Director of Acciona Energy, who said:

If governments flip-flop with policy to the extent that they drive the renewable energy sector out of this country and foreign investors away from this country, don’t expect to be able to attract them back in a hurry.

Does the minister agree that abolishing the renewable energy target will drive the renewable energy sector and foreign investors away from Australia?
