Again, I can't take a question seriously from a party that opposed the energy bill relief plan. That is the money that was supported by this parliament to ensure that we could take some of the pressure off those bills. That is the single purpose of one of those questions that was put to this chamber. And you voted against it. How can you vote against households getting hundreds of dollars of relief off their winter bills and then complain about increasing costs when you voted against them getting any help? It doesn't make any sense.

Australians realise that they've got a government that acknowledges that prices are high in a range of areas. We are dealing with it with our 10-point plan that goes to a number of areas to support households and families who are doing it tough. Energy bills is one of those areas, and you voted against it.
