My question is to the Prime Minister. It has been reported that this year Queensland has experienced more than 23 times as many extreme power price spikes as South Australia and that New South Wales has had almost four times as many as South Australia. Given that New South Wales and Queensland are the states with the highest dependency on coal and the lowest levels of renewable energy in the nation, how does the Prime Minister explain these massive power spikes in Queensland and New South Wales when he cannot blame renewable energy?
