Thanks very much, Mr Speaker. Of course, what we know is that there are two big reasons why there is pressure on prices at the moment. One of which, as I've outlined already, is the failure of those opposite to build enough supply to generate power in the country because they were too busy worrying about power struggles within themselves. But the second, of course—and this might be a news release for those opposite—is the fact that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to global rises in power prices that have occurred throughout the entire world. Those opposite seem oblivious that this has occurred, but it is just a fact.
