What elements of the energy system in South Australia will he choose to take control of again?</text>

Most importantly, we will be using every piece of our armoury to make sure that South Australians aren't put at a disadvantage because of a failed process. It is my very strong opinion that the privatisation of ETSA is the worst policy decision ever taken in this parliament's history.</text>
