Senator HANSON-YOUNG (South Australia) (14:55): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. I refer to media revelations today of departmental advice to the government that the cause of blackouts in South Australia during last September's storm was indeed because of the storm and the damage. This advice showed that the Prime Minister and his ministers were told from the beginning that the power outage was not the fault of wind power. The Prime Minister and his government ignored that advice, opting to attack South Australia's renewable energy industry instead. The Prime Minister has now been caught lying. When will the Turnbull government stop lying to South Australians by falsely claiming renewables on our state's energy crisis and start being part of the solution? The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, you will need to withdraw the direct reference about the Prime Minister. Senator HANSON-YOUNG: I believe it was lying. I believe it was fibbing. I am prepared to rephrase. When will the Turnbull government— The PRESIDENT: No, I am asking you to withdraw the comment. Senator HANSON-YOUNG: I am happy to withdraw. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Hanson-Young. I call the Attorney-General.
