00:00WA has been good to Labor in recent years and Anthony Albanese has travelled to Perth
00:06early in his campaign to try and keep that relationship up.
00:09He's in the seat of Hasluck today, one of four that Labor picked up at the last federal
00:13election that the party is desperate to hang on to.
00:16WA's Labor state government recently won a resounding election win and Anthony Albanese
00:20is hoping some of that momentum might roll off.
00:24He's come with an election offering, $200 million for the St John of God Midland Public
00:28Hospital.
00:29But while Labor is always happy talking healthcare, questions on energy prices are proving trickier.
00:34The PM has been distancing himself from a pledge at the last election to lower power
00:37prices by $275 a year.
00:41Modelling once spruced by Labor to back up their promise now appears to have been dumped.
00:45Our energy policy offering is all out there, Reputex Modelling was Reputex Modelling that
00:50they put out.
00:51Our policy...
00:52But you adopted your 43% target based off that modelling and your 82% target, why are
00:58they still your targets if you're now distancing yourself from the modelling?
01:00I hope when you get the chance on the next leg, where I assume you'll be following around,
01:11to ask Peter Dunne what his 2030 target is.
01:14He doesn't have a 2030 target.
01:18A key question this election is what both major parties would do if they don't reach
01:21a majority of seats.
01:23The PM tried to clarify that he wouldn't work with the Greens, but wound up muddling that
01:27message.
01:28Both Labor and the Coalition know the cost of living is at the centre of this campaign.
01:32Labor will continue to point to their $150 energy price rebates, but questions on where
01:36power prices will go once those rebates run out are likely to continue to be asked.
