Will the COP31 conference reduce power prices for South Australians and, if so, how? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain. Leave granted. The Hon. V.A. TARZIA House of Assembly Hartley Leader of the Opposition The Hon. V.A. TARZIA: The Australian Energy Regulator's wholesale markets quarterly report has shown that power prices in South Australia have skyrocketed by 35 per cent in the last three months, making us once again the most expensive jurisdiction for power bills in the nation. The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly Croydon Premier The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:30): The Minister for Energy is equipped to go into the detail about some of the inaccuracies and the misleading nature of the Leader of the Opposition's question, but the question was put to me, 'Is a conference in Azerbaijan going to reduce power prices in South Australia?' I think that question speaks for itself.
