My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Ayres. AEMO estimates that increases of up to 55 per cent for overhead transmission line projects are likely, compared to its 2024 integrated system plan. AEMO has stated:

Minister, given that electricity prices and bills have increased by more than $1,000 under Labor, how much more will families pay to deliver your government's 82 per cent renewable energy target?
