Mr TAYLOR (Hume—Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction) (14:31): I'm delighted to be receiving questions from those opposite today, because during the election campaign they steadfastly refused to answer questions about their real plan, which was to establish a carbon tax, double the price of electricity and triple the price of gas for all Australians. That's what they intended to do and that's why the member for Maribyrnong and the member for Port Adelaide steadfastly refused to answer questions on energy policy throughout the campaign— Mr Gosling interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Solomon will leave under 94(a). The member for Solomon then left the chamber. Mr TAYLOR: The government's priority is getting energy prices down for all Australians, hard-working households and small businesses, while we keep the lights on. We've steadfastly said that we will focus on outcomes, not the fuel source— The SPEAKER: I'm going to say to the minister, he is entitled to a preamble but that time's coming to a close. We are almost a minute into the answer. Mr TAYLOR: Thank you, Mr Speaker. As I say, we are not focused on the fuel source; we are focused on the outcome. We currently have a moratorium on nuclear power generation in Australia, and the government has no plans to change that. We always approach these things with an open mind— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my left! Mr TAYLOR: but we do not have a plan to change the moratorium. It's as simple as that. That's the position. But I'll tell you what we will do. We will steadfastly focus on affordable, reliable energy for all Australians and we will not put in place policies that are going to double the price of electricity and triple the price of gas, as those opposite proposed at the last election.
