My question is to the Prime Minister. Last night on Four Cornersthe Prime Minister's former energy adviser Danny Price referred to an emissions intensity scheme, which is Labor's policy, and said:

If an Emissions Intensity Scheme had been put in place customers would have been seeing a price reduction in absolute terms.

Instead, wholesale power prices have doubled since the election of this government, and Mr Price predicts prices will rise further by around 30 to 40 per cent. When will the Prime Minister stand up to the hard Right of his party and put in place a policy that provides price relief to households and Australian business?
