My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware that at a time of record high power bills and record low wages growth the former Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party has called on the Prime Minister to work with Labor on the National Energy Guarantee, saying:

The government needs to consider energy policy through the prism of securing bipartisan agreement with Labor, to establish a long-term, stable regulatory framework that will support private-sector investment …

Why won't the Prime Minister take the sage advice of the member for Curtin and work with Labor on energy policy that he's previously said he supports?
