I support any solution that makes our power bills cheaper, makes energy companies pay their fair share and achieves a resilient power supply:

• clamping down on price-gouging energy companies
• bringing online cheaper power 
• increasing rebates for solar and batteries to reduce household and business reliance on expensive power from the grid
• being an active voice supporting our community leaders to achieve community resilient energy networks that keep the lights and the phone on
• discussing a sensible and pragmatic transition away from gas to electric when we know our electricity supply is secure.

We are getting fleeced by energy companies, charging more and more for electricity and gas, reporting exorbitant profits and paying next to no tax.

Our energy network in Casey is unstable, it is normal for the power to go out most weeks, sometimes for minutes, sometimes for hours, sometimes for days. All electric is a fantastic idea to reduce gas usage, but removing gas from households and community facilities in Casey is not practical when the energy network is so unstable. With no power, gas heating and gas cooking is our back-up. Not everyone can afford to buy their own back-up generator. We need a community-wide conversation about our ideas to advocate and invest in community-led community power, including micro-grids, neighbourhood batteries and back-up NBN/satellite phones. Community energy resilience is about doing the work early, planning ahead and having the conversations before an emergency, so the community knows what to do when the power and phones go out.
