Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:08): The cheapest form of new energy in this country is renewables. That is something that is recognised by the Business Council of Australia, by the Australian Industry Group, by the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the National Farmers Federation, but is apparently beyond the capacity of those opposite to recognise. Mr Fletcher interjecting— The SPEAKER: The manager of opposition business will cease interjecting. Mr ALBANESE: For a decade, we have suffered from the fact that we had 22 different energy policies announced but none of them landed. Even when they went through the Liberal Party room—not once, but twice—they still didn't land. In fact, they so detested the idea of landing an energy policy that when one looked like being landed, they lopped off a Prime Minister instead—not once but twice! And they ended up with the member for Cook. It turned out that one of the hidden figures in the last budget was the member for Cook. The SPEAKER: Order! The Prime Minister will pause and I will hear the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. Ms Ley: A point of order on relevance. It was a tight question. How is it possible— The SPEAKER: You may resume your seat, thank you. The question was a broad question around power prices dropping and rising. I am going to give the call to the Prime Minister, who is in order. Mr Dutton interjecting— The SPEAKER: If the Leader of the Opposition can cease interjecting and the House could come to order, the Prime Minister will continue. Mr Dutton interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of the Opposition! Mr ALBANESE: I've got plenty of time, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER: I've given the courtesy and made it clear I want to hear these questions in silence and, out of respect for the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, ensured the House could hear the question. I think it is entirely reasonable to allow the Prime Minister to answer the question in the same circumstances. I give the call to the Prime Minister. Mr ALBANESE: Twenty-two policies were announced and none of them landed. An energy grid built for the middle of the last century— Mr Ted O'Brien: We got prices down! The SPEAKER: The member for Fairfax! Mr ALBANESE: The shadow minister interjects that energy prices went down under the former government—really? Wow! Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The House will come to order. Mr ALBANESE: That's absolutely extraordinary. Indeed, so bad was it going that the shadow Treasurer changed the law so that the price increase that was built in and should have been declared in March wasn't declared until after the election. That's how bad it was going. During their time in office, we saw four gigawatts of capacity leave the grid and one gig go in. You talk about the old supply/demand a bit in an economics degree—if you go four gigs out and one gig in, do you have more energy or less energy? More or less? Do you think that has an impact— (Time expired)
