I can tell the senator what's important to the Australian people. What's important to the Australian people is making sure, as I've said, that we have affordable and reliable energy. There is probably nothing more important to the Australian people at the moment than knowing that they're going to be able to afford their electricity prices.

I'll tell you what else is important to the Australian people—making sure that we've got a strong and sustainable regional economy. Regional Australia drives this nation and drives the economy, and, unlike those opposite, it's the coalition that is going to put the policies in place to make sure that we do that. This government is absolutely focused on what's important to the Australian people.
