I'm asked about promises with regard to energy. At the 2019 election, the coalition promised to reduce the wholesale price of electricity to $70 per megawatt by the end of 2021. Spoiler alert: it didn't happen. By the time they left office, the price was $286. They promised $70 and they delivered $286. That was what we inherited. When they were in charge, the member for Hume also promised $1 billion to deliver 3,800 megawatts of new power generation. Spoiler alert: it didn't happen. Not a single kilowatt.
