My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Energy. He would be well aware that my electorate of Grey bore the brunt of last September's power outages in South Australia—Port Lincoln was out for three days; some places for four days—and how the doubling of electricity prices is effecting our bigger employers, BHP and Olympic Dam, Nyrstar and Arrium. Will the minister update the House on what the government is doing to strengthen energy security and maintain energy affordability, and what hurdles stand in the way of achieving this security for hardworking Australian families?
