First, it's pretty galling, isn't it, to see someone who voted against energy bill relief for small businesses talking about energy prices. It's amazing that Senator McKenzie could actually come in here and feign support for small business when she voted against energy price relief for small businesses. Everyone can remember that Senator McKenzie is against energy bill relief for Australian businesses and Australian workers. Let's all remember that any time she asks a question about it. Let's also remember what Senator McKenzie is proposing, along with Mr Dutton. In order for him to try to get to the Lodge, he wants to put in place a nuclear plan which would require households to pay $1,200 extra. So they want more expensive power, and they voted against bill relief. That's the reality. (Time expired)
