ANGUS TAYLOR: Well good afternoon. It's great to be here with my friend and colleague Matt Canavan, the Minister for Resources. We're delighted with the outcomes from the day. We achieved everything we wanted to from the COAG Energy Council, and in particular, we've agreed on implementation of the Retailer Reliability Obligation from 1 July next year. This is a crucial reform for every Australian.

CHRIS KENNY: Now, a lot of emails still coming in on this energy debate. The idiot Opposition Minister for the Environment said pump hydro - if we get less energy from that, it costs us, and then we will get rid of it. Does that- does he really understand basic science? He says: you can’t get rid of pumped hydro, you need to build a dam. Also, wind power generation in New South Wales has a capacity of almost 1300 megawatts, according to Alan, but apparently, yesterday from 11am to 1.30pm, the output varied between 1- no, minus 1 and 4.3 megawatts.

JANE MARWICK: A new report out today says emissions reductions in Australia’s electricity market are on track to meet the Paris target eight years ahead of schedule. Angus Taylor is the Energy Minister and joins me now. Minister, good morning. Welcome to 6PR.

ANGUS TAYLOR: Thanks for having me, Jane.

JANE MARWICK: Look, it’s a political hot potato - there is no doubt about it. A lot of people have been saying get out of Paris. What do these new figures show you?

The Liberal Nationals Government has initiated an independent review of the Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) program to consider expanding it from office buildings to other high energy using buildings.

The Australian Government is supporting affordable and reliable power for the resources sector through a pilot project with Santos Limited.

Australia's emissions from the electricity sector will continue to fall, according to the latest report on Australia's emissions projections.

SIMON LAUDER: Now last week the board of Snowy Hydro approved a final investment decision for the Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro scheme. Now it's over to the company's major shareholder to decide if the project will go ahead. Snowy 2.0 would create 2000 megawatts of on-demand generation and 350,000 megawatt hours of storage. It's a multi-billion dollar project and the federal government must now decide whether it will go ahead. Angus Taylor grew up in Nimmitabel and is the Energy Minister in the Morrison Government. Minister, good morning.
