Those opposite may know that the Prime Minister has recently met with energy retailers. I must commend the Prime Minister for the work that he has been doing with those energy retailers to ensure that our consumers have the best plans available. Around two million Australians have been contacted or will be contacted to ensure that they are on the best available energy plans.

This is in contrast to what those opposite have been doing, which shows an absolute lack of commitment to providing reliability and affordability for the Australian people when it comes to electricity prices. We are putting downward pressure on gas prices. It's taken this government to put policies in place to ensure that we have that downward pressure on gas prices. Unlike when we look at the comments from Mr Butler from the other side, of course, showing the previous track record of the Labor government is less than positive when it comes to gas prices, it is the coalition government that's going to deliver on reliability and affordability for energy for the Australian people.
