I thank the minister. Australia's competitive advantage has been built on having the cheapest and most reliable electricity in the world. That has been jeopardised in recent times by government policy, including the Renewable Energy Target, which the government is endorsing at 23½ per cent. Will the government commit to freezing any further funds for new renewable energy projects, which are doing such a disservice to Australian consumers and businesses, most notably in South Australia?
