My question is for the Leader of the Government representing the Prime Minister. Minister, today the government has acknowledged the failure of our privatised and deregulated energy market and announced some minimal reregulation of energy retailers. It did this about a year after the Greens laid down a plan to reregulate the energy market. You have implemented the bank levy after you ridiculed us about our proposal. You instituted the banking royal commission a few years after our analysis said that it had to be done. Minister, how does it feel to be gradually implementing so much of the Greens' economic policy agenda?
