Mr ALB ANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:01): It is, indeed, the one-year anniversary of the member for Hume's decision to hide energy price rises. You acted to hide price rises. We acted to shield families from them. And you voted against it. You voted against shielding families. Mr Sukkar: Then why do they keep going up? The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Deakin will cease interjecting. Mr ALBANESE: You voted against shielding small businesses. And Clare Savage, the chair of the Australian Energy Regulator, said this about the DMO: 'It's much lower than where we were fearing it could have been last September-October.' Mr Taylor: Prices are going up, Albo. Get it right. The SPEAKER: The member for Hume will cease interjecting. Mr ALBANESE: A lot of what we have seen, in the price increases today, has been driven by unreliable coal plants—so outages—and very high fossil fuel prices. So that transition to clean energy is critical to bringing down prices. Those opposite voted against direct bill relief to those Australians who need it most. They voted against price caps that have already had an impact on price increases. They opposed the safeguard mechanism—their own policy. They took four gigawatts out of the grid and only put one gigawatt back in. They announced 22 energy policies— Mr Ted O'Brien interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Fairfax will cease interjecting. Mr ALBANESE: and didn't land a single one. And the louder they yell, the more embarrassed they are by their own performance. We, on this side of the House, gave those opposite an opportunity last December to stand not just with the federal Labor government but with the New South Wales Liberal government and vote for lower prices— The SPEAKER: Order. The Prime Minister will pause. Has the Prime Minister concluded his answer? I give the call— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! There is far too much noise on my left. Mr Ted O'Brien interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Fairfax. I want to hear from the member for Canberra.
