|Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he understands businesses need a reliable energy grid in the wake of the coronavirus, highlighting the importance of a dispatchable power supply over energy sources that rely on the weather. “With a more reliable grid, with dispatchable power that isn’t subject to the weather, then that, of course, creates greater stability and businesses need stability to operate,” he said.
The Prime Minister said “having a more efficient cost base for all Australian businesses is how you create jobs,” and he flagged energy as a key resource which he was seeking to make more cost-effective. “We have to have ways of getting that down at a sustainable and consistent level”.

PM threatens private sector with government intervention in gas market | Sky News AustraliaThe Prime Minister has threatened the private sector the government will forcibly intervene in the gas market and build a new power station in the NSW Hunter Valley unless it can come up with a plan and funding over the next seven months.\n\nScott Morrison will today call for the exploration of more gas reserves including the creation of a new gas hub in Queensland.\n\n'As we turn to our economic recovery from COVID-19, affordable gas will play a central role in re-establishing a strong economy we need for jobs growth, funding gas services and opportunities for all of us,' Mr Morrison will say in a speech.\n\nThe move is in response to the planned closure of the Liddell coal-fired power station, slated for 2023, and the significant cost it would have on Australia's energy market as the government seeks to pay down debt accrued as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n I would've made it 7 days, this has gone on for way too long Yeah, sure they will ! Morrison does a lot of talking but no one takes much notice these days. If the government were to commission a power station, it would be years away. If new legislation was required. It would not pass the senate, and never happen. How quickly Libs flick the switch to socialism when their precious market fails taxpayers again!
