My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Ayres. Under coalition pressure, the Albanese government has finally released volume 1 of the incoming government brief from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. One redacted section notes: 'The DMO points to a further significant increase in retail electricity prices next financial year.' Minister, will you be honest with Australians about how much power prices will continue to skyrocket and further impact Australian households and businesses?
