The second wave of the government's electricity privatisation plans may have collapsed, but we must now step up the pressure on a future Coalition government to work with the Greens to cancel the existing contracts and restore and maintain full public ownership and control of generation in NSW.
The Keneally government has walked away from the mess they have created leaving NSW with a dysfunctional electricity industry. The unsustainable mix of private gentraders at some power stations and entirely public control at others can only be resolved by reversing Treasurer Eric Roozendaal's privatisation.
See you there!
