I do think it's relevant to point out that policies like ours have seen wholesale prices come down 30 per cent in the last quarter.

Opposition members interjecting

It's a fact. We know there's more work to do to make sure this flows through to retail consumers, and we'll see in the next default market offer, which will be out in March next year. We won't be hiding it, whatever it says. It'll be released, just like the last three have. That hasn't always been the case, but while I'm the minister they'll be released on time and transparently for Australians to see. That's why we've reformed the default market offer to give Australian consumers a better deal, including through Solar Sharer and for the 136,999 households who have now installed a cheaper home battery. These are all practical policies that we'll continue to deliver.
