Senator CHRIS EVANS (Western Australia—Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:14): Senator Joyce seeks to come in here and say, 'I've got you: what you said is different to what the Prime Minister said,' but he has not said what the Prime Minister says. He has not provided a copy. He has not provided the Senate the information he is making the comparison with. So I have no idea about the veracity of the claims Senator Joyce makes. Senator Joyce: I seek leave to table a letter to Mr Peter Simpson from the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard. Leave not granted. Senator CHRIS EVANS: The government will be very happy to have the Senator table a copy of the letter after he has shown the normal courtesies to all sides of the chamber. As I said, the energy white paper makes it very clear what the government's policies are—its vision for the energy future of Australia. It is a road map to guide Australia's energy transformation. But I simply make the point that the electricity assets are owned by the states.
