My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister. I refer the minister to the modelling report released last night that underpins the Finkel review. This report states that there is an added risk premium on new generation investment in the business-as-usual case. For example, new coal investment was assumed to have a four per cent additional risk premium compared to new renewable investment. As the self-declared champions of coal, is the government aware that its own policies are increasing the cost of investment, including in coal generation?
