Mr BURNELL (Spence) (16:21): The matter put before the House today refers to the direction Australia is moving in, so let's talk about that. Let's talk about the direction this country will be moving in under the nuclear energy policy proposed by the LNP—or I wish I could say that, because the opposition don't really have one. They don't know what they're doing. We have six pages of nothing, which were given to the Australian public over six months ago, but that's been discreetly taken down, to the point where you can't access it anymore online. If you need a copy, please reach out to my office; we're more than happy to provide one. The Liberals did that because they realised there was a problem with their nuclear energy policy: they don't know how much it's going to cost, they don't know how long it's going to take, they don't know what these reactors will look like, they don't know what kind of nuclear reactors they want to build, and they don't know how much nuclear waste this policy will produce. Is it a Coke can? I think not. They don't know how their nuclear policy is going to help Australians. They're not telling us about the supposed savings Aussie families will get, and I would go as far as to say that the opposition don't know why they're heading in this direction, because, outside of taking advantage of Aussies who need help with the cost of living and trying to capitalise on their suffering for the express purpose of winning Liberal votes, there is absolutely no reason to think, and it is grounded in absolutely no scientific evidence, that this direction of the coalition—if you can call it that—is going to achieve anything in Australia, given our current position in energy. The LNP's nuclear policy is pure fantasy. The member for Fairfax—who is the main character on this 'wheel of fortune policy' from the LNP—must have seen Wicked the other day, because the nuclear snake oil he is peddling to the public is straight out of a scene from The Wizard of Oz. The member for Fairfax is playing the role of Dorothy, following the 'yellowcake road'. He is followed closely by little Toto, played by the member for Cook. They're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of half-baked ideas and destruction—played by this opposition leader. The member for Fairfax has asked the wizard to grant him his heart's desire. His wish is for some direction on energy policy. The opposition leader, with a twist and a flick of his magic wand, grants that wish by handing down a nuclear energy policy that costs too much, takes too long and annihilates Australia's path to cheaper power bills and cleaner energy because the wizard thinks it'll earn him some blue votes next year. But the member for Fairfax doesn't care. With the member for Cook in his arms, he taps his heels three times and teleports all around the country, riding the high of Aussies struggling to pay their bills, and presents them with the sheer fiction that is their nuclear policy. That is the direction of the Liberals—they are absolutely aimless. That's why this Labor government, under this Prime Minister, has spent the last 2½ years getting Australia back on track. Labor's direction is fighting the cost of living, and we delivered a bigger, better and fairer tax cut for every Australian to do just that. Those Australians include 67,000 people in my electorate alone on lower and middle incomes, keeping more of what they earn than under the Liberal plan. Labor's direction is smashing barriers of disadvantage in communities like mine, by making education more affordable. That includes a brand new university study hub opening Elizabeth to slash expenses for local students, changing the student loan system so you're paying loans off when you can afford to do so and fee-free TAFE. Labor has enrolled over half a million Aussies into TAFE, for free. If re-elected next year, we will cut 20 per cent off all HELP loans for students. Labor's direction is making medicines cheaper and health care more affordable. Labor's direction is keeping inflation down to put downward pressure on costs in the family home. And, of course, Labor's direction is staying away from the 'yellowcake road' and actually doing something to make power prices cheaper. We have done that by taking $300 of all power bills for every single Australian household. While the Liberals are busy chasing wizards projecting their magical fantasies onto Australians and attempting to block everything I just mentioned because they want to profit from Aussies doing it tough, this Labor government under this Prime Minister is going the right direction—that is, fighting the cost of living.
