(—) (): What I can say to you is that the government will deal responsibly with the mess in energy markets that we inherited from you. Unlike you, our response is not going to be to try and hide price increases. Let's remember your great response. The great response of those opposite—the coalition—to rising energy costs on their watch was Mr Taylor making sure they were hidden from the electorate before the election. So I can tell you this: we will go about trying to deal with the cost increases—the result, in great part, of the shock to global energy markets and the mess in the energy markets—responsibly and sensibly. And we are going to do it in a way that actually tries to reform energy markets. You have already seen that. You've already seen that with the Marinus Link, which was announced just last weekend.
