ENERGY POLICY

Mr SIBBONS (Mitchell): Presented a petition signed by 38 residents of South Australia requesting the house to urge the government to—

1. Require energy companies to stop the practice of charging non-solar households the subsidies for solar customers;

2. Provide better transparency and accountability on the energy industry to prevent further exploitation of energy consumers;

3. Develop a program that will allow installation of renewable energy source but not limited to solar panels and solar water heaters feasible and accessible to low-income Australians including those in rental properties, public and community housing; and

4. Investigate the energy industry in regard to increasing variable and fixed components of gas supply.

The SPEAKER: I call the member for West Torrens to order for his unprovoked interjection about the petition regarding the mine on Yorke Peninsula.

Mr Gardner: Throw him out, sir.

The SPEAKER: No.
