The Prime Minister's position and the government's position in relation to the National Energy Guarantee are very clear. On the coalition side, we are all united in our resolve to ensure that we bring down electricity prices and that we improve energy reliability—unlike the Labor Party. The Labor Party, we know, have two factions. We've got the anti-business, war-on-business, socialist faction, led by the current leader of the Labor Party, Mr Shorten, and we've got the pro-business, pro-growth, pro-opportunity faction, led by—who would have thought!—Mr Anthony Albanese. Who would have thought that Mr Albanese would compete with Mr Shorten from the right? Who would have thought that that would happen? Mr Albanese is now the more responsible leader of the Labor Party. If Ms Keay can't say that she is in favour of Mr Albanese's position, Labor voters in Braddon should put her last.
