ELECTRICITY - PRICE INCREASE
I refer the minister to the arrogant response he gave to a question a couple of weeks ago about plans for an increase in electricity prices for Western Australian families and businesses. Mr F.M. Logan : Which question? Mr J.H.D. DAY : Which question did the minister give the arrogant answer to? I agree that there have been many, but in the particular answer to which I am referring the minister said - We as a government will tell the people of Western Australia when we are fit and ready. Is the minister now fit and ready to reveal to Western Australian families and businesses how much he will be forcing them to pay in increased electricity prices in 2009? Mr F.M. LOGAN

AnswerView source ↗
When the review of the future of A-1 tariffs in this state, and any increase in those tariffs, was announced back in June this year, I presented the timetable to this house. I set out a timetable of what the Office of Energy was going to do, with whom it was going to consult, and how it was going to go through that process of review, which is now nearly complete internally. The report will then be presented to the general public, including all industry players, for their advice and suggestions about the propositions the Office of Energy has come up with. I have made that very clear to this house on numerous occasions. Has the member for Darling Range put any propositions to the Office of Energy? Mr J.H.D. Day : I’m asking you! Mr F.M. LOGAN : He is the shadow Minister for Energy. Has he put any submissions in? No, he has not. He wants me to reveal the outcome of the review prior to its completion. Mr C.J. Barnett : Because you know and you’re not revealing it. Mr F.M. LOGAN : It is not finished. It will involve all of industry and the general public. We are aiming to complete it by February next year. I have said that before.
