Yes, I am. Since we introduced the default market offer, the average small business in New South Wales could have saved up to $3,124 a year. That is in stark contrast to and would be put at risk by those opposite—not for a lack of trying by the Otis group, who have absolutely done their best. They've had some early wins, where they managed to get rid of Mark Butler as the energy spokesman—they thought they were onto something, and well done to Senator Farrell for that—only to have him replaced by Chris 'I love a carbon tax' Bowen. So they get rid of Mark Butler and then straightaway they get hit with Chris Bowen. To add insult to injury, the spokesman for Queensland resources is Murray Watt, who's never seen a resource that he would ever want deployed in any energy source, be in it in Queensland or elsewhere. We're getting on with the job and we're lowering energy prices, in contrast to those opposite. (Time expired)
