My question is to the Prime Minister. In just 12 days time, on 1 July, EnergyAustralia's electricity prices for the average household in New South Wales will go up by nearly 20 per cent, or almost $320 a year. Why is the Prime Minister cutting the $365 energy supplement for pensioners, a cut that will make it even harder for pensioners to keep the heater on this winter? Why is the Prime Minister hurting pensioners while giving millionaires a tax cut? (Time expired)
