I will have a talk with the member for Moreton afterwards. In closing—I did raise the issue before and I will seek some more time in the House to speak on Coober Pedy—with a 30 per cent increase in electricity, it is appalling. South Australia is the only state in the nation that does not provide subsidies to remote communities to have electricity at grid prices. The South Australian government have withdrawn support and yet the support they do give to the Coober Pedy council is contingent on them supplying household power within 10 per cent of the grid. So it is being passed on.
