Thank you, Senator, for the question. There is nothing that the opposition won't seek to politicise. When they left office, the average wholesale energy price was 286 megawatts per hour. Just like we inherited a 6.1 per cent inflation rate, the coalition will not take responsibility for the messes that they left.

Opposition senators interjecting—

Now we hear them, even though they voted against the opportunity for Australians to have cheaper energy across Australia, they voted against cheaper bills, and that is all they have to say.
