And I don't mind that you're 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: the number one guy, because I think it's important you're 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: the number one guy. 7 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 3: Well, I'm in the winner circle with you guys this morning. 8 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 3: Oh congratulations, best on air team, best on ground. 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate that. And you've had a big week 10 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 2: in Canberra. Let's talk about the big stick energy policy 11 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 2: because it's been outrageous at energy companies like AGL and 12 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: Origin are billion dollars in profit and yet we see 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: every day people still struggling to pay their electricity bills. 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 2: It's not fair. 15 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 3: Well it's not and several years now we've been introducing 16 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 3: new laws and new REGs to try and even the 17 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 3: score up a bit between customers and these big energy companies. 18 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 3: And this week we pass legislations that where they use 19 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 3: their big market power to drive prices up on people, 20 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: there can be fines and in the worst cases, for 21 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: serial abuse of customers in terms of how they use 22 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: their market power, we can break the companies up. That's 23 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 3: a pretty extreme option, but it gives the government the 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 3: power to hold the big energy companies to account. So 25 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 3: we've already seen in the most recent data, you know, 26 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: the electricity prices steady off and just falls slightly. But 27 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 3: we think there's a lot more room to go and 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: we want to keep the pressure on them to do 29 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 3: the right thing by their customers. 30 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: You know what technology ourselves watching the ABC the other 31 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: day and it's an Aussie invention. Did you see those 32 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: roof tiles that are solar panels and they don't look 33 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: like they don't look like solar panels, They're an actual 34 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: roof tile that is actually these and it looks like 35 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: a normal You wouldn't know you had. 36 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: A solar panel in that we should be getting on that. 37 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, there are subsidies for solar panels and they 38 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: remain in place, but the technology is changing all the time. 39 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 3: And the other thing is the technology is getting cheaper. 40 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 3: But the best way for people to get a better 41 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: deal is to shop around and to use their own 42 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: market power, I mean, get the best deal you can. 43 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: We've put a lot of controls on the companies now 44 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: to make sure that particularly when you come off a 45 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 3: discount offer, you know, that goes for a couple of 46 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: period of time and then it diverts to this what's 47 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 3: called the default offer. We've made sure that that default 48 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 3: offer is much lower and so you don't get ripped off. 49 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: So there's heaps of things people can do, and just 50 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: reminding them to do what they can do, and that 51 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 3: is to get on the phone or get online and 52 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: make sure they can get the best deal out of 53 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: the energy companies. 54 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: We haven't spoken to you since you've been in the 55 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: White House, just not from a political point of view, 56 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: but from a human point of view. What's that like? 57 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: Did the little Scott Morrison who grew up in Sydney go, 58 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: I'm in the White House, I'm where all these famous 59 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: presidents have lived. 60 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 3: Well, it was quite pretty amazing.
