I move that this House:
-
Notes record high electricity prices under this Government, with prices rising by 60 percent since 2011, including rises of up to 20 percent from 1 July 2017.
-
Notes that unlike the Government, the Opposition will not ignore the rising cost of electricity prices and will act to re-regulate electricity pricing.
-
Understands the Australian Consumer Competition Commission, farming, welfare and other consumer groups support this approach.
-
Calls on the Government to stop delaying over power prices and do something to help struggling households.
