I thank very much the Leader of the National Party for his question, and I will make some comments and then refer to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. The fact is that, earlier on, what we had was a position put that somehow prices for energy went down during the former government's reign. That's what they said. I was actually able to get the 2019 policy of those opposite that they took to the election, and it said: 'A re-elected Morrison government will be targeting a 25 per cent reduction in the average wholesale electricity price by the end of 2021 with new supply through our underwriting new generation initiative.' That's what they said. That was the commitment that they made. And the member opposite, who's been given responsibility for this area, interjected saying that indeed prices went down.
