The quarterly wholesale prices rose, yes. They did. That's what the report says. Thanks for noticing. Now, the honourable member has very clearly asked me about wholesale energy prices, and, yes, over the quarter they rose. Compared to those at the time of the election, though, they are substantially lower. In New South Wales, the wholesale price was $320.48. The current figure is $127.72.
