Mr TURNBULL (Wentworth—Prime Minister) (14:15): I thank the honourable member for her question. Mr Speaker, let me start with the alternative approaches, because we know what the approach has been from the Labor Party. We do. We know what their approach is: no engineering and no plan; massive investment in renewables, with no regard to the fact that the sun doesn't shine all the time and the wind doesn't blow all the time; and force-feeding a massive amount of renewables into the South Australian market without any backup or storage whatsoever, driving out reliable power to introduce variable power—an extraordinary example of incompetence that resulted in South Australia having, as we know, to the great cost of South Australians, the most expensive and the least reliable electricity in Australia. This was a situation entirely created by a state Labor government that went into it with eyes open, proudly claiming this was a bold experiment. Well, it was an experiment, and what it demonstrated was that Australians need to know that, when they flick the switch, the lights will come on, and they need to be able to afford to pay the bill. That's what they managed to establish. Now, what we've done since we came into office is systematically deliver policy that is based on fact and on engineering, and we have delivered lower prices for thousands of Australian customers of electricity. Opposition members interjecting— Mr TURNBULL: Honourable members over there say no, we haven't. Oh yes, we have. Talk to your constituents; they'll tell you about the better deals they're getting. They're getting better deals. And what about all those businesses that depend on gas? They'll tell you that the wholesale price of gas is coming down. Why is that? Because of actions we took; that's why. What about the biggest single cost in a retail customer's electricity bill? It's the cost of the network—the poles and wires. That's about half the bill. That cost has been going up year in, year out because the energy companies have been able to game the system and rush off to the courts to appeal against the Energy Regulator. Did we ever hear the Labor Party call for that to stop? Never. The only thing we saw when the energy minister did his best to persuade the states to agree to this was steadfast opposition from Labor governments, who did not want to see their own energy assets—in Queensland, for example—being prejudiced. We've delivered that now. Labor kicked this bill off to a committee. I'm glad it emerged and it has now been passed. So, that's what we're doing: bringing downward pressure on electricity prices, based on sound policy, facts and engineering— (Time expired)
