Senator AYRES (New South Wales—Minister for Industry and Innovation and Minister for Science) (14:00): Until almost the end, Senator Smith, I was about to say, 'It's good to finally see a moderate question about the energy challenges that Australia faces.' You couldn't resist a final little 'skyrocket'. What Australia needs in electricity policy and energy policy is a sense of national purpose coming from this parliament—confidence, certainty and stability. That is what this government has provided over the course of the last three years. We have acted in both substantial and structural terms as we seek to modernise Australia's electricity system. We have sought to act to deal with some of the short-term questions, which is why we had price caps and why we had support for households. The PRESIDENT: Senator Smith, are you up on a point of order? Senator Dean Smith: President, my question was very succinct: will the minister be honest with Australians about how much power prices will continue to skyrocket and further impact households and businesses? The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Smith. I do believe the minister is being relevant to the question, although it was a bit hard to hear because there was quite a bit of noise. I will listen for the next 35 seconds and, if he's not relevant, I will draw him to the question. Senator AYRES: He said, 'My question was very succinct.' That's like me saying, 'I am very thin.' Honestly! There is serious work to do and a national challenge in making sure that we build a modern electricity system. Senator Smith, I don't know who it was in your team who sought the incoming government brief. They have been provided it. It's been appropriately redacted. That's the way the system works. The PRESIDENT: Senator Smith, a first supplementary?
