Mr O'BRIEN -- "The federal government's carbon tax policy includes a contract for closure to take out 2000 megawatts of brown-coal-fired electricity. This is an imminent threat to the security of Victoria's electricity supply.
It shows the absolute folly of Labor Party policy that would sacrifice the security of our energy supplies to pursue environmental goals. We cannot afford to turn off a Hazelwood, to turn off a Yallourn or to turn off a Loy Yang A unless there is replacement baseload capacity, because otherwise the lights will go out, the jobs will go out and our standard of living will go out. It will not happen if this government has anything to do with it."
