This is a question, of course, that goes to coherence when it comes to energy policy and energy policy leadership. What you need to have—and the Liberal Party review that you should all read. Mr Taylor, as Ms Savva points out, was completely immoral—I think the phrase she used was 'completely foolish and naive'—in seeking to hide it from you, but it makes clear that if you are trying to sell a $600 billion nuclear fiasco, what you need as a minimum is communication between the leadership and the party machine. You need a shadow ERC that's up to the task. You need political leadership that's focused not on hard-right preoccupations and imported ideologies but on the interests of ordinary Australians. That's what Australia needs. That's what the Liberal Party needed. (Time expired)
