That is a very good point. Why does
the member for Bateman not ask the Minister for Energy a question?
Let us think about this. The Liberal
Party is now the friend of renewables. That is the substance of the member's
question. The Liberal Party is now the friend of renewables. I do not know
whether the member has watched what has happened across this country over the
last 10 years, but the Liberal Party is not the friend of renewables.
Mr D.C. Nalder interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Bateman!
Mr
M. McGOWAN : Have a look at what
has happened. Have a look at some of the commentary from Angus Taylor and some of those characters. Have a look at some of the commentary of Liberal
Party members across Australia.
Mr D.T. Redman interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Warren–Blackwood!
Mr
M. McGOWAN : The idea that the Liberal Party is a friend of
renewables is frankly wrong and goes against all —
Mr D.T. Redman interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Warren–Blackwood!
Mr M. McGOWAN : — the
available evidence across this country.
Mr D.T. Redman interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order! Member
for Warren–Blackwood, three times I have called you. I call you to
order.
Mr M. McGOWAN : This
government, as the member for Collie–Preston well knows, has done more
for Collie than ever before.
Mr D.T. Redman interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Warren–Blackwood, I call you to order for the second time.
Mr
M. McGOWAN : We have ensured the
sustainability of Collie. We have also supported investment in renewable energy across this state, something that the Liberal Party was incapable of.
