Queensland’s energy minister, Anthony Lynham, has requested the coalition government brings its much debated energy market misconduct bill to the next energy minister meeting for discussion.

Minister Lynham has shown concerns for the bill, as he believes the proposed legislation will allow for privatisation of public power generators, which Queensland does not support.

Lynham says “Queensland has the lowest average electricity prices of mainland states, reliable supply and a planned transition to a renewable future because [the Queensland Government] own power assets”.
