I thank Senator Leyonhjelm for his bill, which indicates a desire to address what is one of the most significant issues facing Australians—consumers not only in a residential sense but also in a small business sense. I note news announced today that Cafe Buongiorno at Modbury in South Australia, which is a cafe I have frequented a number of times over the years, has announced that this will be its last week of operation. It is looking to close down because of high electricity costs.
