Talking about the abolition of the renewable energy target in this manner, as Senator Singh has done, is more likely to undermine confidence than anything else. So the crocodile tears of Senator Singh are there for all to see. As I have indicated, we have a review being undertaken. We will consider the outcome of that review and make a decision that is in the long-term best interests of our nation, both economically and environmentally. Until such time as we have the review and have considered it, all the other commentary by Senator Singh might grab her a headline but, with great respect, is pure speculation that does nothing for the sector that she seeks to champion.
