Mr TAYLOR (Hume—Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction) (14:28): I thank the honourable member for his question. Like the rest of us on this side of the House, he is focused on driving down power prices, because he knows that a dollar off an Australian's power bill is a dollar in their back pocket—a dollar in the back pocket of hardworking Australians. That's why we've taken strong action to lower power prices. From 1 July, we've seen the default market offer come into place—a price cap on standing offers. We were delighted to see that the ACCC today welcomed the implementation of that all-important reform. The report from the ACCC shows that, since 1 July and the introduction of the price cap, almost 800,000 Australian households and businesses have benefited from that reduction in standing offers across New South Wales, South Australia and South-East Queensland. Their savings have been significant—typically $190 and as much as $500 or $600 from the highest standing offers that existed before the reforms, and much more for small businesses. We know that the people who were on the worst deals are saving the most. The report also tells us that we've seen a significant reduction in the sneaky late payment fees that were in place, sadly, from many of the energy companies in the past. It tells us the competition is alive and well. So it still pays to shop around, and some of the best market offers come from the second-tier retailers. There is still more to do, and we are committed to doing it, to make sure that positive things are happening, that the reductions in energy prices that we have seen tabled in this report continue on. By contrast, those opposite took to the election a plan to drive up power prices, a plan that independent modelling told us would double wholesale power prices. Right now, though, they don't know what they're for and against. Are they for John Setka or are they against John Setka? The SPEAKER: The minister needs to remain directly relevant to the question he was asked. He can compare and contrast on the policy topic he was asked, but he can't free range into other policy areas—unless he can convince me the person he mentioned is somehow related to energy policy. Mr TAYLOR: I'll stick with energy and emissions reduction, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER: That's a good idea. Mr TAYLOR: Are they for a 45 per cent emissions reduction target or are they against it? The member for Maribyrnong tells us he is proud of it. Are they for coal or are they against it? What's the member for Hunter's view on coal? Are they for the energy big stick or are they against it? Only the Liberal-National government can be trusted to bring down power prices.
