Senator MARIELLE SMITH (South Australia) (14:05): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction, Senator Birmingham. Yesterday the Liberal member for North Sydney, Trent Zimmerman, said: We have no commitment to fund a coal-fired power station and I don't think we should … From my perspective, it's not the business of the Commonwealth government to be building or funding coal-fired power stations. And yesterday Liberal member for Wentworth, Dave Sharma, said on public funding of new coal-fired power generation: … I don't think the government should be in the position of doing this. Does the minister agree with the position of his New South Wales Liberal colleagues?
