Energy policy

Mr ANGUS: The recent revelations that the gas and electricity supply in Victoria is under threat is a stark reminder of yet another area of total mismanagement and failure by the state Labor government. Energy supply is one of the most basic needs of a civilised society, and yet it is another area that state Labor has botched up. In its endless pursuit of green votes, it has put in jeopardy the basic needs of Victorians. The government needs to ensure that baseload power continues to be supplied at a reasonable cost to ensure all Victorians and, importantly, Victorian businesses have a sure supply of electricity and gas for their needs.
