National Energy Guarantee

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (15:18): Supplementary, sir: given the minister's answer, does he agree or disagree with the federal Labor leader and federal Labor deputy leader that they are keeping an open mind about the National Energy Guarantee?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (15:18): I think everyone has seen what the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Bill Shorten, has said on many occasions about what the Prime Minister is proposing. I agree with Bill Shorten and I agree with the Prime Minister. I will tell you what Bill Shorten is saying. Bill Shorten says:

Turnbull's energy plan trashing jobs and renewable energy industry for 50 cents off your power bill not good enough.

Bill Shorten is absolutely right: $70 in five years and 50¢ a week off in five years isn't good enough.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I call to order the member for Adelaide and I warn the leader. I love that rictus smile. The member for Unley.
