Power Prices

Mr PATTERSON (Morphett) (14:55): My question is to the Minister for Small and Family Business. What does the Minister for Small and Family Business say to small business owner Greg Maitland about the cost of power in South Australia? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr PATTERSON: It has been reported that Adelaide hotelier Mr Maitland estimates his energy bills have risen by about 30 per cent, and this was stunting the growth of his business.

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts) (14:56): I will refer to my previous answer, and those of the Minister for Energy.
