Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (15:57): I seek leave to make a short statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator GALLAGHER: The opposition won't be supporting this motion. We recognise the timing of the future closure of the Liddell power station is a commercial decision for the operator, but all Australians know that power prices are going up right now. The opposition believes that the Prime Minister should be fixing the energy crisis, not blaming others and saying what he might do in five or 10 years. If Mr Turnbull were serious about fixing the energy price he would do three things right now: intervene in the gas market so that more gas stays in Australia for Australians at lower prices; end the war on renewables and implement a clean energy target, which would drive new investment and jobs in energy; and stop the blackouts this summer by developing a strategic energy reserve so that there is enough power when we really need it.
