Electricity Prices

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:05): My question is to the Minister for Regional Development. Has the minister done anything to ensure regional households and businesses are not brought to their knees by further electricity price hikes in the wake of the Northern Power Station closure earlier this year?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (14:06): I think this question has been relatively answered by the relevant minister in the previous question.

Mr Gardner interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Morialta is called to order.

The Hon. G.G. BROCK: The price of electricity, as we all know, is uniform throughout the whole of the state, and this government is doing everything they can.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Kavel is warned.
