I'm asking anyone to provide evidence of privatisation riving up costs in Australia. It's simply not there. The most privatised state in the country has the cheapest prices, this is undeniable.
Put up your "logic" rather your ideology if you want to convince people otherwise. Downvotes don't count sorry :)
Prices are the cheapest in Victoria, with full privatisation of the network. Prices are also most expensive in South Australia, with nearly full privatisation of the network. No rational person can look at that and proclaim there is a correlation.
We have states with nearly all generation, distribution and transmission being government owned, we also have states completely out of the business. This should be a simple slam dunk to people who loudly make these easily proven claims and yet they never have any proof.
Prices are rising uniformly across the board, including in the heavily government owned states, which coincidently are the worst at rolling out renewables because they are protecting their fossil fuel golden eggs at the expense of the environment.

- defrost 3y agoTwo eight year old pieces don't reflect the recent changes in Australian electricity prices which is the period in which the most grevious examples of price hikes have occurred. While interesting time capsules one wonders whether Lynne Chester holds the same opinions today or has updated the prices tables 2007-2014 with more current data. Personally I'd look less at the month to month prices and more at the decade on decade projections .. what are the winning long term strategies for cost effective power generation with the "lowest bad for climate" emmissions totals.
