My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. I remind him of this month's report on electricity price increases, released by the ACT Labor government's independent regulator, which states, 'The majority of the increase in electricity prices is attributable to the introduction of a price on carbon. It represents just under 80 per cent of the absolute change.' How does the Acting Prime Minister reconcile that with his statement to the House that 'the great bulk of increases in electricity prices have nothing to do with a carbon price'?
