Mr FALINSKI (Mackellar) (16:19): I'm not sure if I can still stand after that withering attack, but I'll do my best. I've got to say thanks for the comedy show of the last 30 minutes. It's been just wonderful! We've now had doublespeak worthy of George Orwell: it's not a carbon price, it's not a carbon tax, it's carbon architecture. Coming to you in 2019, people of Australia: carbon architecture—just look forward to it. That'll solve all your problems. Then it was: 'The problem is privatisation. If we hadn't privatised stuff, it would all have been fine.' I must have been dreaming in New South Wales between 2003 and 2011, when prices shot up over 250 per cent when it was government-owned. Who owned it, again? That's right—Eddie Obeid, Bob Carr, Joe Tripodi, Ian Macdonald. The list just keeps going on. We will make sure you wear those names for as long as the Labor Party gets elected to any parliament in Australia. Joe Tripodi, Bob Carr, Ian Macdonald—we don't need anything more! We have just listened to five minutes of 'we need a plan'. When the member asked— Dr Aly interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Mr Coulton ): The member for Cowan! Mr FALINSKI: Oh, no, it was enjoyable; please don't stop. We had five minutes of 'no plan, no ideas.' Those on that side remind me of the arsonist who torches energy policy and then comes in here and accuses us of not putting out quickly enough the fire they started. My favourite bit was: 'Oh, no, it's got nothing to do with the moratorium the Labor states have put on gas exploration. No, that's just a coincidence.' Apparently they haven't done it. Opposition members interjecting— Mr FALINSKI: So what's Pilliga? Is the Pilliga not a gas field all of a sudden? We could go back to Eddie Obeid and Bob Carr, my favourite friends. What did they do in New South Wales? Everyone got a gas exploration certificate. I think there was a gas exploration certificate over the Harbour Bridge at one stage! When the government identifies that 50 per cent of Australians are potentially paying $1,500 a year more than they need to on electricity prices, when it identifies there's an asymmetric market failure and does something about it, what is the member for Shortland's response? Mockery. The truth is that when anyone comes up with solutions to the problems that you create, all you can do is mock. That's the only answer the Labor Party has. The 280,000 Australians who have gone to the website to check what better deal they can get from their electricity provider and retailer are not laughing. They're clapping, because they're getting a better deal. Every time we give energy policy to the Labor Party—whether it's in New South Wales or whether it's in Queensland, where the Palaszczuk government is using its wholly owned corporations to hold up its awful budgetary position—three things happen: prices go up, reliability goes down and uncertainty runs wild. That is what we have come to expect from the Labor Party. What have we done over here? We have created Snowy Hydro 2.0. They laugh at that, but the fact of the matter is that Snowy Hydro 2.0 will add 2,000 megawatts of renewable energy to the Australian energy grid. That is enough to supply 500,000 homes. We're told that all we're doing is trying to make things that already work, keep working and work better. Apparently for the Labor Party that's something to have a problem with. Trying to make things work better without having to spend a lot more money is something they don't like. We saw that in New South Wales, with the electricity grid. They gold plated it for no good reason whatsoever. When we finally came, in New South Wales, to lease the electricity grid, the ETU was opposing it while its own superannuation fund was investing in privatised electricity assets in China and a privatised water asset in the UK. That's what you expect from the Labor Party. No answers, all complaints and the problems never end. The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Mr Coulton ): The time for the discussion is concluded.
