I thank the honourable member for his question. Again, unlike the first few questions, these are questions that are based on serious matters that are worthy of debate in this House. There is a real debate about the various approaches, alternative approaches, to energy prices in this country. This government's approach to help Australian households with things like the Cheaper Home Batteries Program and with the solar sharer policy for three hours of free power in the middle of the day, which we introduced and they opposed, has been very broadly welcomed by Australian energy consumers, who know that renewable energy is the cheapest form of energy. We want to see more Australians benefit from it and to continue with the task of rolling out more renewable energy in this country.
