My question is to the Prime Minister. As the Prime Minister would know, because he is always across these sorts of details, under the default market offer in his home state of New South Wales energy prices are set to rise by a whopping $564 on an average bill. So I ask the Prime Minister: why did the Prime Minister break his promise that energy prices would fall by $275, and why do Australian families always pay more under Labor?

I thank the member for his question, which goes to what's going on with energy in New South Wales. Well, I'll tell you what: not only am I welcome to talk to my energy minister but I have had a chat with the energy minister in New South Wales as well, and we came to a common position about what was required to go forward, not just with the energy minister but with the energy shadow minister as well. Perhaps, if the Leader of the Opposition got through border control and into New South Wales, he could ask them a question. I'd say to the member for Mitchell, who has such good relationships with the Liberal Party in New South Wales: if you want something passed on, just ask me, and I will get you the answer.

Order! Members on my right! There is far too much noise in the chamber. Order! I'd like to hear from the member for Pearce.
