What we did—it was in December last year—was put out a coherent policy, after a decade of inaction, after 22 policy announcements—and none of them delivered. What we know is that there was a 23rd policy. The 23rd policy was put up in March, of an increase that they are responsible for, which came into effect because it was deliberately delayed by the then government until after the election. We stand by our modelling that we put out. We stand by the fact that renewables are the cheapest form of new energy. It's not really rocket science. You don't really need an economics degree or a science degree to know that if the market changes from a more expensive level of energy to a cheaper level of energy you get cheaper energy prices. I know that might be beyond those opposite, but that's exactly what the Australian people know. That's why they've got solar panels on their roofs. (Time expired)
