I mean, honestly! The last time this show was in government, you promised gas prices between $4 and $6, and, when you left office, gas prices were north of $31. Of course, if we are serious about the future of Australian industry, the big challenge in front of Australia is building our modern electricity system as our industries electrify and as new industry comes onstream which will have an increasing demand for electricity, particularly data centres. That is why it is a mystery to all of us why your side of politics went to the last election with a plan to put prices up and to deliver less industrial electricity.
