Chair—to reach the 2035 targets, it will cost $530 billion from where we are now—it's already cost $75 billion, and it will be another $530 billion—to get, notionally, to the 2035 targets. But $150 billion of business, industry, manufacture will have gone offshore. I don't think the Labor Party understands that, and I don't think they really appreciate what their energy plan is doing to the things that really matter in this country, the things we care about. I'll tell you what we care about. We care about households, we care about small businesses and we care about energy bills. We care about families sitting at their Christmas dinner wondering what's going to happen next year with back to school and all the costs that they're facing. We've got a government that has delivered a higher cost of living, higher power prices and higher inflation—and, unfortunately, the possibility of higher interest rates next year.

So we're coming back next year. We're energised. We're enthused. We're fighting hard for the Australian people, who are counting on us.
