My question is to Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Minister Ayres. Electricity bills have soared 23.6 per cent over the past year, with an 8.1 per cent rise last quarter and another nine per cent rise this quarter. These price hikes are now spiking inflation and crushing Australian families already desperate for relief. The only thing keeping power bills from going even higher has been temporary rebates, and those are running out, and so is the government's supply of taxpayer dollars. One Nation warned this would happen. We warned your reckless net zero plan would hurt households and businesses. Why does this government continue to mislead the Australian people by claiming its so-called net zero energy transition is working when it's clearly only working to send power bills and the cost of living through the roof?
