Mr BOWEN (McMahon—Minister for Climate Change and Energy) (14:34): I'm delighted to take a question from the Leader of the National Party about solar farms and prime agricultural land. The week before last I opened Australia's largest solar farm at Uralla in the electorate of the member for New England, but the Member for New England wasn't there. The state member, Mr Marshall, was there to join me in celebrating the opening. We had the big shearing clips out to cut the ribbon. The interesting thing about Australia's largest solar farm in Uralla—the honourable member, the Leader of the National Party, asked me about prime agricultural land and solar farms, and I'm delighted that he did. At Australia's largest solar farm in Uralla, the proponent has worked with the landowners— Mr Burnell interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Spence is warned. Mr BOWEN: an agricultural family of many generations standing in New England, and they have designed the solar panels as such— Opposition members interjecting— Mr BOWEN: Don't you want to hear about the wonderful interaction of agriculture and renewable energy in Uralla? The SPEAKER: The minister will resume his seat. Mr Joyce interject ing— The SPEAKER: The member for New England. Order! Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my right. Mr Burnell interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Spence will leave the chamber under 94(a). The member for Spence then left the chamber. The SPEAKER: This continual interruption will not continue. I want to hear from the Leader of the Nationals. Mr Littleproud: The point of order is on relevance. This is a very tight question around the number of hectares of prime agricultural land across the country. Not in one specific place; across the country. If he doesn't know, he should sit down. But farmers are getting very concerned about it. The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. Ms Catherine King interjecting— The SPEAKER: The minister for infrastructure will cease interjecting or she'll be warned and asked to leave the chamber as well. Mr Taylor interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Hume: one more time and you'll be warned as well. You've had a fair go. The Minister for Climate Change and Energy has been going for one minute. I'm going to ask him to return. It was a specific question— An honourable member interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order. I'm going to give him the call, unless I can't hear him. He has the call. Mr BOWEN: The Leader of the National Party asked me about agricultural land and solar farms. The wonderful thing about agricultural land and solar farms is how they can interact. At Australia's largest solar farm, in the electorate of the member for New England, the landowners have worked with the company so the solar panels are designed so they can— The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. Mr Bowen interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Minister for Climate Change and Energy, resume your seat. Leader of the Nationals, resume your seat. It's not a free for all where you jump up. You've had a point of order. The minister can assist the House by returning back to the question. Mr BOWEN: When the drought hits, they have a diverse source of income. This is the point. They say that solar farms and renewable energy and agriculture can't co-exist. Honourable members interjecting— Mr BOWEN: They're wrong! They don't understand the regions! Honourable members interjecting— Mr BOWEN: They don't understand the areas they're meant to represent. Maybe if the member for New England would turn up and listen, they would know. Government members interjecting— Ms Lawrence interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my right and the member for Hasluck will cease interjecting. I'm issuing a general warning across the House. That behaviour is completely unacceptable.
