I thank the member for McMillan, who is not only an outstanding local member and neighbour, but he also cast an outstanding vote to repeal the carbon tax. He delivered lower electricity prices, lower gas prices and, yes, lower refrigerant prices for his constituents in Pakenham, in Wonthaggi and in Drouin. For Mr Brockwell, whom he mentioned, there was a reduction in the cost of R404A for his ice machine from $360 a kilo down to $85 a kilo. That is a significant reduction. For the cost of re-gassing the ice machine, for 10 kilograms, that is about $2,750 in savings for the local fishing cooperative.
