I do acknowledge this very real progress today.
Long way to go.
There's more work to do to keep this transition well underway.
If we're saving more of the renewable energy from the day and using it more to flatten out that night-time peak and reduce prices, that is the system working.
It's no coincidence that 50% renewables and 414,396 home batteries are reducing prices for them.
but for everyone, by reducing reliance on expensive coal and gas in the evening.
And those 414,396 home batteries installed since the 1st of July last year, together with a big uplift in grid scale batteries and a small contribution from community batteries, are making a difference.
Long way to go.
There's more work to do.
Yeah, that's right, Luke.
Thanks for having me on.
Well, we are at the end of a refined fuel supply chain here in Australia.
We have two refineries.
They're relatively small by international standards, and we have some oil extraction, but it only provides a small amount of our oil.
So we are at the end of a supply chain, and in this particular international crisis where the Straits of Hormuz have been the real flashpoint, we, like the rest of the Asia-Pacific region, you know,
uh foreign minister balakshiran of singapore has called this an asian crisis and i think he's pretty right have really been you know in the pointy end um of the impact um having said that we've had no ships that we expected to arrive failed to turn up um we have actually now more fuel in australia at the at today than on the day that iran was bombed so we've taken a number of measures um firstly public communications to tell people look
We're okay for the moment, but you know, let's all be sensible here.
Let's all not use any fuel that we don't need.
We did deal early on in the international crisis with a big spike in domestic demand, no more fuel use for a lot more fuel purchases.
So that really put pressure on our domestic supply chain.
