My question is to the Prime Minister. As the Prime Minister knows, wholesale electricity prices have doubled under the Liberal government. The Australian Energy Council has said:

… the lack of national policy certainty is now the … biggest driver of higher electricity prices.

Does the Prime Minister agree, and will the government commit to working with Labor to end four years of policy paralysis under this government which have led to higher prices and instability in the energy market?
