Thank you, Mr Speaker. It remains the case that our government are supporting the reliability guarantee to ensure that we have reliable power contracted into the future. That's our policy. But I'll tell you what our policy has delivered. Our policy means that EnergyAustralia, AGL, Origin Energy, Red and Lumo have heeded our calls to put customers first and lower power prices on 1 January 2019.

AGL will discount bills by 10 per cent for customers on standing offers. EnergyAustralia will discount bills by 15 per cent for concession customers. Origin Energy will provide a 10 per cent discount off usage for concession card holders, and Red and Lumo will give an automatic 10 per cent discount for customers on standing offers. Our policies to reduce electricity prices are working. Labor's policy will put electricity prices up.
