My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. How many gigajoules of gas supply will be lost to families and small businesses because the government cut $50 million from gas investment projects?

None. But I welcome a question from the opposition about gas, because these are they guys who promised the gas led recovery, remember that? What they left was a gas led bin fire. On the day that our old friend—the member for Hume—announced a gas led recovery the price of gas was $4.20 a gigajoule. The gas led recovery went so well that by the time of the election the price of gas was $34.75 a gigajoule. Well done, Angus!
