I thank the honourable member for her question. I'll repeat what I said in my earlier answer: the objective has to be to ensure that Australians have access to the cheapest possible power. The member for Sydney often wants to talk about hardworking Australian families and those that are battling, and she claims to be filled with empathy for them. Well, a lot of people can't afford to pay their power bills, and they want to have lower energy bills. They want to see cheaper electricity. The reality is that the Labor policies have driven energy prices up, and we are bringing them down.
