My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Environment and Energy, Senator Birmingham.

He wanted a big response to his exciting announcement of a feasibility study into the expansion of Snowy Hydro. Minister, can you please explain to South Australians just how a feasibility study into an eastern-state-focused facility in New South Wales—that might take upwards of seven years to even get there—how will this help next summer when prices are going through the roof and stability of electricity is low?
