Senator AYRES (New South Wales) (14:56): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction, Senator Birmingham. Analysis from JPMorgan shows that, under the Morrison government's energy crisis, power prices continue to go up and up and up. Can the minister confirm that electricity prices have risen across the four national electricity market states of Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland up to $83 per megawatt hour in August, up 12 per cent from June, despite lower demand?
