I understand that. When the private wires legislation is brought forward, it can future-proof our grid.
I looked at the objective of eliminating energy poverty. We have spoken a lot about curtailment, how a huge chunk of our renewable energy is being thrown away. It is just gone and completely removed. We spoke about how we were still importing renewable energy. I did not agree with what the groups we had in were saying. The Minister had some engagement with EnerGeo, which we spoke about previously. Will he fast-track that so people in energy poverty can have their tanks heated up? It is something that would be highly beneficial and would help our curtailment issue.
