Hon DAVID BENNETT (National): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I just want to rise in response to that last speech and talk about the Crown Minerals (Decommissioning and Other Matters) Amendment Bill; it's a Government bill in the name of Dr Megan Woods. The difficulty New Zealand faces at the moment is the large degree to which this Government has transferred away from renewable energy into use of a carbon-based energy source through using coal as its mechanism to deliver heating to New Zealand and to keep the lights on, even if they did go off at a certain stage. The approach that the Government has taken from day one has been a very strict approach around energy. They've taken the approach that there will be no oil and gas exploration, that the country will deliver its energy needs without those key sources of energy, which actually are part of the transfer to renewable energy. Gas, for example, is widely used around the world and seen as a more renewable form of energy than, for example, coal would be—or a more environmentally friendly form of energy. So the ideology, and the blind ideology, of this Government has led to a position where New Zealand has an energy system that is now compromised.
