SIMON COURT: Thank you, Mr Speaker. Now, this lack of gas, not just for Methanex but to supply electricity producers like the Taranaki Combined Cycle unit at Stratford, has led to shortages. Those shortages have led to increased energy costs and job losses. It has also left families who depend on those high-paid jobs, those mums and dads, now in distress and having to think about their futures. Yet despite all these other energy policy failings, the Minister for energy is still blaming everyone else for this Government's failure to ensure that New Zealand has secure and affordable energy and that we do not have more blackouts, because despite denials today, the inference made in the House yesterday by the Minister of energy was that generators had, for commercial gain, taken a decision to limit the supply of electricity. That appeared to be, on the face of it, a deeply cynical excuse and suggests that power companies are OK with mums and dads and small children and elderly people left in the dark on one of the coldest nights of the year, in pursuit of profit. What an appalling inference. I'm very, very pleased that the Minister's representative has come to the House today and denied that, as far as is practical.
