I thank the honourable member for her question. What the announcement by the Australian Energy Regulator today shows is that energy prices are stabilising and falling after the highest energy prices the world has seen in 50 years. I would have thought that would be welcome news to the House. Nobody should underestimate the cost-of-living pressures that the Australian people are under and the need to be constantly vigilant to do more to help Australians with those cost-of-living pressures, including when it comes to energy prices.
