My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister claims that his National Energy Guarantee will lower power prices by $150 by the 2020s by removing uncertainty. But the Prime Minister's cutting the energy supplement, which will cost a single pensioner $365 a year—a cut which his own backbench, including the member for Dawson, have told him to reverse. Isn't the only certainty for pensioners that they'll always be worse off under this Prime Minister?
