I was in the Liberal Party room, and what you assert is not true. What you assert is simply not true. But what I can tell you is that the government has adopted the recommendations of the Energy Security Board. The package of measures announced by Mr Turnbull and Mr Frydenberg come from that review of the Australian energy market by the men and women best placed to provide expert advice in relation to it. We have adopted their recommendations—in particular, their recommendation of a National Energy Guarantee based upon an emissions guarantee and a reliability guarantee.

So, Senator Kitching, at the next election that will be the choice: higher electricity prices under a Labor government or lower electricity prices under Mr Turnbull's government. (Time expired)
