The minister didn't mention $275 once. On 10 October, Alinta Energy CEO Jeff Dimery said:

What cost $1 billion to acquire is going to cost me $8 billion to replace. So let's talk about that and still explain to me how energy prices come down …

Yet a Labor Party source claimed yesterday that the Russia-Ukraine conflict was responsible for these massive power price increases. Who's correct? Is it the Labor source blaming the conflict from well before the election or Mr Dimery, one of our foremost energy experts?
