Prime Minister Albanese—that is right. Prime Minister Albanese said that when he was the opposition leader. The current Prime Minister said this in 2021.
The other point I wanted to touch on was Senator Cash's question, which went to electricity prices. Minister Wong was asked if she was in touch with the cost of electricity, and her answer demonstrated that she isn't. Every time we ask these questions, they point to their policy that they rushed through the parliament just before Christmas. If it was so successful, Labor, why don't you explain to the Australian people why their electricity prices have actually gone up? Why don't you explain how it's not doing anything to deliver on the reduction of price that you said you would deliver? You said 97 times before the election that prices would go down by $275.
Question agreed to.
