ECONOMIC REGULATION AUTHORITY REPORT —
ENERGY SECTOR
293. Mr D.C. NALDER to the Premier:
I refer to the scathing report by
the Economic Regulation Authority tabled today regarding this government's
handling of the energy sector; I quote —
There appears to have been very
limited progress, and market participants are poorly informed of the process,
and as a result, new business may miss the opportunity to invest in the market,
reducing business activity and limiting choice for consumers.
Will the Premier accept the findings
of the ERA on the poor performance of his government or, like the Minister for
Energy, will he attack the independent regulator?

AnswerView source ↗

I am not informed about the report.
I am unaware that any report has been tabled and I invite the member to ask any
questions of the Minister for Energy.
