My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Minister Gallagher. The Prime Minister promised 100 per cent renewables would deliver the cheapest form of power. The Capacity Investment Scheme is a key part of Labor's reckless energy plan that shifts the cost and risk of wind and solar onto taxpayers. Australian families and businesses are already paying soaring energy prices. If Labor are so confident this is the cheapest approach, it should be able to state the cost clearly and publicly. Can the minister please inform the Senate of the total cost of Labor's Capacity Investment Scheme in the 2025-26 budget. To assist the minister, is it within the quantified contingent liabilities?
