I will take that interjection—'Lower the cost.' If you really think that coal-fired power is the lower cost, after you have seen coal-fired power exit the system and you have seen how the unreliability of ageing coal-fired power stations has increased costs to Australians, and you really think that nuclear is the way forward—well, I think everyone can look at the coalition's policy and see it is ideological and irrational. The fact is that we have the cheapest possible policy, unlike you.
