My question is to the Prime Minister. My constituent Robert Withers lives in Port Macquarie, in my electorate of Cowper. His recent electricity bill showed that he had reduced his usage by 10 per cent from the same period last year. However, the charges have risen by 40 per cent. The Prime Minister promised Australians, like Robert, that he would cut their power bills by $275, but Robert is now $800 out of pocket in real terms. Why do Australians always pay more under Labor?
