They include price caps and what some have dubbed a kind of “Russian-invasion profit levy”.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, speaking just before departing for 10 days of meetings across Asia, said the government would “land on a solution going forward prior to Christmas”, even as he continued to insist that “all sensible measures remain on the table”., telling the ABC’s Sabra Lane that “our preference is not that”.
