My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to her comments on 22 February last year, when she said:

I … want to be very clear with Australians about what pricing carbon does. It has price impacts, it’s meant to—that’s the whole point.

Does the Prime Minister stand by her comment that the whole point of the carbon tax is to push up prices, particularly to push up power prices?
