I want to thank the member for Swan who is a great champion of the environment. Along with the member for Hasluck, he was the co-architect of the Swan-Canning River Recovery Plan—a million dollar plan—part of the coastal rivers recovery plan with the Tamar River, the Torrens River, the Yarra River and Tuggerah Lakes; real things to do to clean up our environment.

But the member for Swan is not just a champion of the environment; he is also a champion of lower costs for families. The member for Swan voted to repeal the carbon tax; unlike his neighbour, the member for Perth, who voted to keep the carbon tax. The member for Swan voted for lower electricity prices; unlike the member for Perth who voted for higher electricity prices.

More than that, the member for Swan voted for a saving of $319 million in electricity prices for Western Australians. He voted for a saving for Western Australian families on an average of 50 gigajoules of $80 a year; unlike the member Perth who, when she stops speaking, voted for higher gas prices and higher electricity prices.
