Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:40): I thank the senator for his question, which seems to be a repeat of questions asked earlier in the week. I have to say that, on a historic day when the Prime Minister announces the recognition of an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, here I am at the third question, and we haven't had a single question about the big issue of the day. The PRESIDENT: Minister, Farrell, please resume your seat. Senator O'Sullivan? Senator O'Sullivan: On relevance: clearly my question was about electricity bills and the prices that Australians can expect to pay, and we're getting an answer on the Voice. The PRESIDENT: I will draw the minister to the question. Senator FARRELL: Prime Minister Albanese, just like me, is deeply concerned about the issue of electricity. The Prime Minister and I are deeply concerned about the issue of electricity prices in this country for ordinary working Australians—and businesses, for that matter. Now, the reality is that the reason that we find ourselves in a situation with escalating electricity prices is the 10 long years of inaction by the former government on the pressures in relation to electricity prices and, of course, the issue of climate change. Now, what did we do as soon as we came into government? We took action on electricity prices. We sought to put a cap on gas prices. We sought a cap on coal prices to push the price of electricity down. And what did your mob do? You voted against it. You wanted to keep electricity prices high. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Sullivan, first supplementary?
