Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (15:02): I thank the member for Gippsland for his question and I congratulate him on his re-elevation to the front bench. I'm not sure if the member for Gippsland was here in December, because he did represent Australia very well—with the member for Dunkley, I know—at the United Nations. A government member interjecting— Mr ALBANESE: And he wants to go back! If I sat with the mob who voted against cheaper prices, I'd want to go back too. But this is what the Reserve Bank of Australia put out last week about gas prices: Wholesale electricity and gas prices declined in response to the announcement of the temporary price caps on domestic gas and thermal coal in the Energy Price Relief Plan on 9 December 2022. Mr Taylor interjecting— Mr Pasin interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Hume will cease interjecting. The member for Barker will leave the chamber under 94(a). The member for Barker then left the chamber. Mr ALBANESE: The quote goes on: Futures markets now suggest that wholesale electricity and gas prices will be lower in 2023 and 2024 than previously expected … That is exactly what the Reserve Bank of Australia said last year. It's a pity that those opposite voted against that measure. Mr Fletcher: Mr Speaker— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will take a break. The Prime Minister has concluded his answer.
