Before the clock starts: today is CanTeen day. Like the member for Herbert and many others, I am sure we all support kids with cancer.

My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, regulators, electricity market participants, economists and market experts all have been indicating failures for some time in electricity price regulation. In the light of this, will your government support moves to unify national electricity laws through an act of this parliament and to address the failed appeals process that has led already to a pointless $1.9 billion in just three years transferred from households and businesses in New South Wales directly to the New South Wales government?
