I thank my honourable friend for her question. The Albanese government is delivering on a plan for cheaper, more-reliable energy for Australians, including 113,267 home batteries that have been installed since 1 July—2.3 gigawatt hours. Interestingly, nine of the top 10 electorates for cheaper home batteries are below the median weekly wage. So this is support going to those Australians who need it in order to reduce their energy bills. We're also delivering, through Solar Sharer, our plan to see more Australians being able to access free solar energy in the middle of the day, even if they don't have solar panels and a battery. All this is also leading to October being the first month in Australian history that we got 50 per cent of our power from renewable energy, in the NEM.
