That is exactly the question. I tell you what's going to go up: prices of a whole bunch of products and services throughout this country, especially energy-intensive companies and the products they deliver. Think of the steelworkers, those who make steel, across this country and their jobs in the foundries. Think of those who run bakeries. Think of the butchers. Think of the hairdressers. Their power bills are going up. Those opposite might laugh about those trades, but I don't laugh about those trades because they built this nation. Their power bills are going up, and the Labor Party find it funny. Do you know what's interesting, Deputy Speaker? The Labor Party's official website is still promoting the $275 reduction in power prices, but guess what website includes the Powering Australia policy, which is Labor's document, but excludes the $275?
