My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Under government modelling, how much will electricity prices increase for households and businesses from the safeguard mechanism?

Zero, because the electricity sector is not covered by the safeguard mechanism.

Order! The Leader of the Nationals will cease interjecting. The Minister for Climate Change and Energy and the Minister for Home Affairs will cease interjecting immediately, as will the member for Groom—he shall be warned as well—so I can hear from the member for McEwen.
