Thank you for that question, and thank you for the opportunity to outline the difference between our political parties about climate change, net zero and renewable energy. We on this side recognise the imperative of transitioning the Australian economy. We on this side recognise the opportunity that we have. We on this side recognise the importance of reforming the energy system. We on this side recognise the importance of policy certainty.

On that side, what we know is that they have had decades of internal fighting about climate policy, and they're still not over it. Even though Ms Ley has made really clear her view on these issues, everyone, from Senator Cash to Senator McKenzie, is showing a complete lack of loyalty to their leader and, frankly, not listening to their voters.
