I am indeed. Those alternative energy policies from Labor are going to have a massive negative impact on regional communities. What do abattoirs need? They need power. What do milk processors in regional communities need? They need power. Colleagues, what do wineries need in regional communities? They need power. What do bakeries need in regional communities? They need power. What do schools in regional communities need? They need power. What do hospitals in regional communities need? They need power. Who is not delivering it? The Labor Party. The only industry the Labor Party is supporting is the candle making industry and even they need power!
