My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. Can the minister confirm that, after months of leadership tussle, Tony Abbott is now back leading the Liberal Party's energy policy and now there will be a dirty energy target which includes coal? Can the minister confirm that extending the life of a coal-fired power station will make global warming worse and threaten future investment in renewables and that this latest move will only drive up pollution and power prices and threaten the stability of the energy grid?
