Ms JULIE BISHOP (Curtin—Minister for Foreign Affairs) (14:38): I thank the member for Swan for his question and for his interest in ensuring that Australians can receive affordable and reliable electricity. The Turnbull government's responsible plan to deliver affordable and reliable energy is based on a belief that Australian household budgets must be relieved of the pressure on them, and so must businesses, and that we must drive jobs growth, as we've seen with the figures released today. The plan we have announced through the National Energy Guarantee will also enable us to meet our international obligations, and our Paris Agreement target will see emissions reductions of 26 to 28 per cent on 2005 levels by 2030. This is reasonable and achievable. It means that emissions per person will halve, and already emissions per capita in Australia are the lowest they've been in 27 years, because we have met—indeed exceeded—the first Kyoto target by 128 million tonnes. We are on track to meet—indeed exceed—the second Kyoto target by 2020. Our Paris Agreement targets are reasonable, and they compare well with those of other developed countries. For example, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the EU all have a target range of between 25 and 35 per cent by 2030. Mr Falinski interjecting— Mr Giles interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Mackellar and the member for Scullin. Ms JULIE BISHOP: In contrast to the Turnbull government's reasonable plan, Labor have embraced the reckless policies of the Greens: a 45 per cent emissions reduction target, way beyond that of any comparable economy—a 50 per cent renewable energy target that will drive power prices through the roof and will see an increase in blackouts, as we've seen in South Australia. The Labor-Greens policy wants to close down coal-fired power stations. Our plan does not involve subsidies. Labor and the Greens want to spend $66 billion on subsidising renewable energy. That will drive costs through the roof, because the subsidy will be passed on to consumers, and they will bear the cost of Labor's reckless policies. The Labor-Greens policy on energy will hit the economy hard, will undermine jobs growth and will drive up unemployment. The choice is clear. Labor stands for higher power costs; the coalition stands for affordable and reliable electricity.
