I'm not aware of a personal conversation between the Deputy Prime Minister and Mr Christensen, but I can certainly tell you that all of us in the National Party discuss many aspects of energy policy. They include renewables, coal-fired power and extending the life of coal-fired power stations. They include a whole range of things. So it would be unsurprising for any of those things to be canvassed between the Deputy Prime Minister and Mr Christensen.

Isn't it interesting that we're getting a question from the Labor Party on the other side under whom electricity prices doubled 101 per cent? It is going to be the coalition that will continue to ensure that we are focused on reliable and affordable energy for people right across this country under the all-of-the-above policy, and we will be consistent in doing so.
