My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the New South Wales Energy and Water Ombudsman, who this week reported a 41 per cent increase in the number of people having difficulty paying their electricity bills. Given that families are already struggling to pay their electricity bills, is not the Prime Minister’s plan to push up electricity prices even further with her carbon tax another example of the government having lost its way?
