A dry cleaner in Gordon in Sydney, Mr David Weng, recently saw his energy costs increase from $2,000 a month to $3,826 a month—nearly double. He said:

It's shocking. It's killing us. It really spoils my business. If you are running like that, there is no way you can keep going.

Will the Prime Minister admit that his failure to address energy prices and his failure to deliver the $275 price reduction is contributing to the record level of small-business insolvencies? (Time expired)
