Well, I look forward to you admitting, Senator Ruston, that your policy will cost around $600 billion. I look forward to you admitting it will take 20 years to even start delivering. I look forward to you admitting that even then it would only deliver four per cent of the grid. And I look forward to you admitting that it will push power prices up by $1,200. Now, we look forward to the coalition coming clean on all of this and the rest of their secret cuts. But, in the meantime, what this government will continue to do is what we have been doing, which is to work to bring inflation down, to work to ensure that we provide assistance to help with the cost of living and to work to ensure that wages keep rising. In doing that, we will continue to be opposed, as we always have been, by the coalition, who have always wanted lower wages for working people.
