In some places this isn't partisan. The New South Wales Premier had this to say:

I'm a free market guy, and also a practical guy too. And the reality is, we stand with households and families across New South Wales.

That's what he had to say. He went on to say:

… states and territories working with the Commonwealth Government, everyone at National Cabinet is on a unity ticket.

Indeed, they were. The New South Wales Treasurer said: 'We're not on the side of energy bosses. We're on the side of consumers and businesses.' I wonder who he was thinking of.

The fact is that the Russian invasion of Ukraine, together with the exposure that we have to international markets as a result of policy issues is why these issues are being dealt with. Along with state and territory governments, we were dealing with these issues. Those opposite refused to be a part of any solution to these issues and chose instead to oppose, as they do— (Time expired)
