Well, it starts with a sermon.

O’BRIEN:

Why don’t I ask that question. So it is even clear to the Australian people. We know, Minister, that you committed to reduce power bills by $275 and I think we both know that has been a failure. You now say, by bringing out a whole bunch of folders that you have done the work, or at least the market operator has done the work but no matter how many times I have asked you in this debate so far, you still cannot tell us the real cost through to 2050. Not the MPV, the real cost. Now, if you look at the spreadsheets and do the calculation, it is well over 600 million dollars. My question to you there for, again, is can you please tell the Australian people the total system cost of your plan to get the national electricity market to net zero by 2050. In real terms?

BOWEN:

You mentioned that I refer to holding the documents and I have and I make no apologies for that because that is the framework we are basing our policies on. And I make no apologies for pointing out that AEMO says the most accurate way and the best way of describing the least cost path way to net zero and particularly in our electricity system is in that 122 billion value. You can dismiss that. You cherry pick the figures as you wish to promote them and that is your choice. The experts say it is the best way.
