It's good to see everyone at the start of this lovely parliament—cheer up, Charlie; come on. My first question is to the Minister for Science, Senator Ayres. The independent CSIRO's GenCost2024-25 report shows that, for the seventh year in a row, wind and solar are the cheapest sources of electricity.
That's what the report says. That's what I've read, anyway. In its first term, the Albanese government prioritised a cleaner and more affordable electricity system by supporting renewable energy and storage projects. Minister, how does the government plan to build on this approach and deliver more clean and affordable electricity for Australians?
