They know that, if the carbon tax is taken away, it will reduce cost-of-living pressures. They know that it will reduce electricity prices for the member for Reid's residents, for his constituents. It is possible to reduce electricity prices, as we have seen from the New South Wales regulator, from the Queensland regulator, and from AGL and Origin. So if you want to do something about the cost of living—if you want to get rid of a system that does not work—it is very simple: repeal the carbon tax and, just this once, Bill, say 'Yes.'
