My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Abetz. Minister, before the 2013 federal election Prime Minister Abbott said:

… we have no plans to change the renewable energy target.

Minister Hunt said:

We also agree on the renewable energy target and one of the things we do not want to do is to become a party where there's this wild sovereign risk …

Senator Birmingham said he supported a 41,000 gigawatt-hour target. Now that the Prime Minister has made it clear that he wants to either abolish or massively reduce the renewable energy target, do you now admit that the Prime Minister and the Liberal Party lied to the Australian community at the 2013 election about the renewable energy target?
