My question is to the Prime Minister. In the lead up to the 2022 election, and since, the government has repeatedly cited modelling forecasting that wholesale and residential electricity prices would decrease by 18 per cent. But the government's budget tells us that Australians can expect increases in electricity and gas prices of 50 per cent and 40 per cent respectively. Will the Prime Minister now admit that the modelling Labor stood by was flawed, and so too were the government's energy policies that relied on that modelling?
