Mr SWAN (Lilley—Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer) (14:00): The opposition leader is continuing with his campaign of deception and deliberately spreading misinformation around our community. As I explained to the House yesterday, nationally the carbon price is only expected to make up nine per cent of an average household bill in 2012-13. Those are the facts and, as I pointed out to the House yesterday, over the last five years electricity prices in New South Wales have increased by 80 per cent. We had this extraordinary statement from the shadow Treasurer yesterday about the alleged impact of a carbon price. This is what he said: 'Electricity prices in Sydney have risen 66 per cent since federal Labor came to power.' That is just a straight lie and it is just so typical of the misinformation being put around by those opposite. We on this side of the House— Mr Pyne: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would ask the Acting Prime Minister to table the document from which he is reading. Mr SWAN: I withdraw, Madam Deputy Speaker. But I ask this question: how can the power price rises that Sydneysiders have— Mr Dutton interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Ms AE Burke ): Order! The member for Dickson is warned. Mr SWAN: How can the price rises for electricity, of 80 per cent, that have been in place for over five years in New South Wales be the responsibility of a carbon price? How could that be? It is not the case. We have explained the impact of a carbon price overall—less than 1c in the dollar; 0.7 per cent. But of course there will be an impact on the overall price level, small as it is. That is the reason we are putting in place assistance to families and assistance to industry. That is what we have been doing. So we stand by all of the modelling that we have put out, including when it comes to electricity prices. We understand that there is a price impact and that is why households are getting assistance. The average household assistance is over $10 per household. The average electricity price increase is just over $3. That is a fact. There is nothing that those on that side of the House can do when they come in here to deny those essential facts. The Leader of the Opposition will say anything, do anything and wreck anything for political power. He is constantly talking down our economy, he is constantly misrepresenting the impact of a carbon price and it just shows how unqualified he is for high office.
