Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Women, Minister for Government Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:03): Senator Paterson has been in this place for a while now, so he will, of course, remember the fact that they had 23 energy policies, and couldn't land one of them, and that 24 out of 28 coal-fired power stations announced their closure when you were in government. And what was your response? Nothing— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Order across the chamber. Senator GALLAGHER: Head in the sand. 'Nothing to see here. Let's do nothing. Let's do nothing about creating the energy grid, the energy system, that Australians need. Let's fight over climate change internally'—which, might I say, continues to this day. Where is Senator Bragg? He got everything he wanted, we hear—got everything they wanted when they walked away from net zero. The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Paterson? Senator Paterson: President, on direct relevance: I'm not sure what Senator Bragg has to do with a 37.1 per cent increase in electricity prices—on your watch; you're in government. The PRESIDENT: Senator Paterson, the minister is being relevant. There have been a lot of interjections and, as you know, the minister is entitled to take interjections, so I suggest that you try and get the left-hand side of the chamber to be quiet. Senator GALLAGHER: On energy bills, specifically, when we have recognised that there have been price increases, we've sought to assist households with energy bill relief and small business with energy bill relief, and those opposite voted against it. The PRESIDENT: Senator Paterson, second supplementary?
