There are 10 Greens senators, Senator Abetz, so at least one of them, by the law of averages—maybe two—supports a coal-fired power station. I did identify Senator Rhiannon the other day, but I think I have found her partner, because Bob Brown also supports coal-fired power. Bob Brown said in the 1980s that coal was the best option, so there is still hope yet for the Greens in this country. (Time expired)
