My question is to the Prime Minister. The government's proposed divestment legislation was rejected by the ACCC and has been slammed by energy experts, legal experts, business experts and economists as putting upward pressure on prices, as being bad ideologically and as being unconstitutional. Why won't the Prime Minister abandon this discredited legislation and instead work with Labor to deliver the National Energy Guarantee, which the Prime Minister has previously said would deliver lower power prices?
