I can confirm that the government are committed to undertaking the review which was always on the cards and which is now being undertaken. As a government that are committed to policies such as direct action to assist the environment, a policy that I am sure Senator Singh and her Labor colleagues will endorse and support us on, we will look at this review and its recommendations. Are we committed to renewable energy? The government are committed to working through these issues in a manner that is in the best interests of all Australians. When you have a taxpayer funded review, does it not make sense for a mature, stable government to say let's wait for the review? (Time expired)
