Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 901 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 12 November 2020 by Mrs L.M. Harvey

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

RETAIL ELECTRICITY MARKET — COMPETITION

901. Mrs L.M. HARVEY to the Premier:

I refer to Telstra's announcement today that it intends to enter the retail electricity market. Can the Premier confirm that soon people will be able to purchase an electricity and telecommunication home package in every state in the country, except for Western Australia, which is trapped in a Synergy monopoly?

Mr M. McGOWAN replied:

I am unaware of what the Leader of the Opposition is referring to. I am aware that she wants to privatise electricity assets and put prices up.

Several members interjected.

Mr M. McGOWAN: That is what she wants to do.
