Mr President, I have a further supplementary question. With ESCOSA data showing residential electricity disconnections in South Australia increasing from 4,748 to 7,311 last year, is it not the case that many Australian households and small businesses are already facing stress paying their electricity bills? Regardless of the so-called compensation, will a significant spike in electricity bills not make this stress worse and risk even higher levels of disconnection?
