Thank you very much for the question. I would like to begin the answer by acknowledging, and reminding people of, the energy crisis that we inherited on coming into government. In fact, I remember Minister Bowen having to leave the swearing-in ceremony at Government House to make sure that the lights stayed on across the country because of the mess that we inherited from those opposite who, remember, hid the power price increase. They hid the advice that they received about the increase in electricity prices before the election.
