I have an additional answer to a question on 25 February from Senator Roberts. The additional information is that the Western Australian government manages the WA electricity market. While it is not connected to the National Electricity Market, ensuring that all Australians have, affordable reliable power is a priority for this government.

The Morrison government is focused on delivering policies that ensure that Australian families and businesses have access to the affordable, reliable power that they rely on. We want to ensure that there is a balance in the system, and that includes a range of technologies. Batteries have a role to play, alongside other technologies, like pumped hydro, coal and, of course, gas.
