It's because our policies weren't going to deliver, he says. It's interesting, isn't it? They come in here and they say, 'We're for energy price relief—sort of—but we're going to vote against it, and actually, we've got nothing else on the table to deliver.' There's only one party here, one party of government, that is absolutely clear about the responsibility and opportunity of government to deliver price relief to Australian families.

Those opposite irresponsibly voted against price relief for Australian families and we will ensure, between now and the next election, that every time you raise energy prices we will remind everybody who is listening that you voted against it. All of you voted against it, and really, you should go out to the Australian people—
