I'm about to tell you—I tried to before. Right now, the reality is that under the Albanese Labor government Australians are far worse off. It will only be worse so later this year when the energy prices go up.

Those opposite were always out there on the hustings, saying, 'We're going to lower energy prices,' and that energy prices were going to be lower by $275. We've heard how many times Prime Minister Albanese promised that. We know that hasn't happened and we heard this week, again, that prices are going up. Not only are they going up but there are going to be shortfalls of gas this winter. Why? Again, because of the policies on the other side.
