Thanks, Mr Speaker. Those opposite are confused by the idea that you could put out a comprehensive policy plan to deal with energy in this country and that you would have proper modelling that was put out last December and wasn't questioned in January, not in February, not in March, not in April and not in May. But of course what was not known at that time is that those opposite had actually sat on and changed the rules to hide from the Australian people the increase in energy costs that occurred on 1 July. They went, as I outlined yesterday, in a series of moves to deliberately stop the Australian people knowing before 21 May that they had baked in an increase. That is their responsibility.
