The Albanese government’s varying compensation agreements with state and territories to get them across the line on itsWith federal and state treasury officials expected to have a busy summer period trying to nut out the details of the proposals to help deliver the $1.5 billion package – which equates to about $230 per household in energy bill relief – concerns have been raised about how to create a fair and equitable system between states.
“I suspect federal Treasury and state officials aren’t going to have much of a Christmas break because they will be trying to work out exactly how the hell they are going to make this work in each state,” Mr Wood told“It’s going to be hard to work out something that’s fair and equitable. It’s going to be very confusing. I think it will be less attractive than a dog’s breakfast.
“For Borumba and Pioneer there will be money jointly contributed between Queensland and the Commonwealth to get early works and site preparation under way.” She said state treasurers would also be negotiating over the next few months about how to deliver more rebates to households and businesses.

‘Sting in the tail’: Albanese ‘got the deal done’ on energySky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has “got the deal done” on energy as Parliament is set to return on Thursday to put the gas price cap and compensation package through. The government will put a cap on gas prices of $12 a kilojoule and on coal prices of $125 a tonne. “But the sting in the tail is the vast majority of Australians will still see their power bills rise significantly this year - just by not as much as feared,” he said. Easy to do when the states are all part of the same party. The energy cap around the world is as orchestrated as the covid response. Anyone would think they were all in it together. What a difference a real prime minister makes.

It will cause more problems and solve none.
