Thank you. As Senator Sterle knows, we are ensuring $300 of relief on power bills from 1 July, on top of the relief we have previously provided. In four days, there will be $300 off your power bills. We know the attitude of those opposite because they have been so opposed to assistance to Australian households. Instead, what have they done? Labor's taken $300 off your power bills. In two decades, Peter Dutton will serve up the most expensive form of energy there is and he will ask taxpayers to pay for it. That is their plan.

But I'll tell you what, colleagues. Have you noticed something? Have you noticed how they dropped off prosecuting this great political strategy? Have you noticed that nuclear in this chamber is now the policy that dare not speak its name. You know it is a dud. You know it is a dud and you can't even bring yourselves to defend it.
