Angus Taylor (Hume, Liberal Party, Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction) Share this | Hansard source

Honourable members would be aware that my colleague in the other place Senator Cormann has been speaking with his fellow senators about a range of policy issues, including issues relating to energy, and, as a government, we are always prepared to listen to good ideas on how to reduce the cost of living for Australian families and reduce the cost of doing business for Australian businesses. But, as we know on this side of the House, we are absolutely committed to a fairer deal on energy for all Australians, and that means a fair deal on gas and a fair deal on electricity.

The member opposite raised the question of gas prices. Gas prices, wholesale prices, have fallen from their peak in 2017. We saw a peak on gas prices of over $20 per gigajoule.
