Just briefly, in response, it takes a special kind of genius to lift pollution and lift power prices, but that's what the minister has done under his government. Fantastic! Great move! Well done, Angus. You've lifted pollution and you've lifted power prices. The independent Australian Energy Regulator has said people are paying more on their power bills now than when the carbon price was enforced and we were reducing pollution as well as generating money that could be used for households and put into renewable energy. You've managed to lift pollution and lift power bills. Great work!

I'm not going to take lectures from a government that, after it abolished the carbon price, doubled wholesale power prices.
