My question is to the Prime Minister. Last night on Lateline, when asked whether she would personally guarantee to the people of Australia that their energy bills will be cheaper in three years time under the Prime Minister's latest energy policy, the chair of the Energy Security Board, Kerry Schott, said:

I don't think anybody can guarantee a price reduction.

When even the chair of the government's Energy Security Board can't guarantee that energy prices will fall for households, why should the Australian people believe the Prime Minister's so-called guarantee?
