Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:18): My question is to the Prime Minister. Under this government Australians are struggling with rising electricity and gas bills. Why is the Prime Minister wasting $122 million of taxpayers' money on a pointless and unnecessary postal plebiscite, when he could use that money to help fund this year's energy supplement for 334,000 pensioners? Mr Pyne interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House will cease interjecting!
