Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:25): I thank the member for her question and for the excitement she is creating on her side of the House. It's waking them up over there. It's a good thing. There are two fundamental issues that the government is dealing with. One of those—and you might be aware of it; it gets a bit of attention from time to time—is the Russian invasion of Ukraine. What the Russian invasion of Ukraine— Mr Dutton: Which happened before you made the promise. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will cease interjecting. Mr ALBA NESE: The louder he yells, the more frustrated he is. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will return to the point. Mr ALBANESE: The fact is that the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which— Mr Dutton: It was before you made the $275 promise. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition, order! The Prime Minister will pause. There is far too much noise. I deliberately said I wanted to hear the member for Lindsay in silence. The Prime Minister deserves the same respect. The House will come to order and he will be heard in silence. Mr ALBANESE: I will take the interjection from the opposition leader, who just interjected, as he does consistently, that the Russian invasion of Ukraine occurred before we released our energy policy, which was in fact in December 2021. The war began in 2022. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will pause and— Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right! I will hear the Leader of the Opposition on a point of order. Mr Dutton: It's on relevance. The Prime Minister made a promise on 97 occasions— The SPEAKER: Resume your seat! Mr Dutton interjecting— The SPEAKER: You don't have the call. Mr Dutton inte rjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of the Opposition will cease interjecting. I want some order in the House. Mr ALBANESE: I'll give the Leader of Opposition a little tip, which is: if you're going to interject across the chamber, make sure you are prepared to stand by your interjections, whether it is on Yeppoon and Yeppen or whether it's on when the war began with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As a direct result of the Russian invasion— Mr Ted O'Brien: Here's a tip: why don't you keep your promise to the Australian people? Mr Hamilton interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! If the member for Fairfax continues to yell, he will be warned, as will the member for Groom. Mr Rick Wilson interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for O'Connor is warned. The Prime Minister has the call and will be heard in silence. Mr ALBANESE: As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we have had a global energy price rise. That is a global phenomenon that has impacted— Mr Sukkar: You repeated it after the war started. The SPEAKER: The member for Deakin is warned. Mr ALBANESE: on gas and coal prices. There are some advantages that Australia has in terms of the revenues that have been increased, which were reflected in the budget that was brought down in October. But that global response has had an impact here. It's had an impact here because we hadn't reserved domestic gas except in Western Australia, where the Carpenter government showed vision well in advance, of course opposed by the Liberal Party. We are suffering from an exposure to international prices as a result of a failure to create an environment which encouraged investment here in our new energy sources. That's why we had four units of energy leave for everyone one unit that was created. (Time expired)
