Before the last election, on over 90 occasions, the Prime Minister mentioned the figure of $275 over 90 times, yet not once, since the election, has he mentioned that figure. So my hope today is that he will come into this chamber, because we know we're getting near to the end of this parliamentary term, and he will mention the figure of $275 and, in mentioning $275, he will also apologise to the Australian people, because he said that their electricity bill would go down by $275, yet nothing of the like has happened. As a matter of fact, most people's power bills have gone up by nearly a thousand dollars. So, Prime Minister, you've got a couple of days to come into this chamber and mention $275, and, along with that, you can say sorry to the Australian people, because you have driven up their cost of living. Not only have you done it to families; you've also done it to businesses. Here he comes, here he comes—$275 is the figure we want to hear mentioned, and we want to hear an apology to go with it.
