Aurora Pay As you Go Price Increase

That your Petitioners (citizens of Tasmania) are very concerned that recent power price increases, predominantly with regard to the increases for Aurora PAYG customers, in an unregulated pricing arrangement, has imposed an unacceptable financial burden on many Tasmanians particularly low income earners and pensioners. And your Petitioners request that the Legislative Council will use the Parliamentary process to address this matter and engage the Stakeholder Ministers of Aurora Energy, The Treasurer and Minister for Energy and the Government with a view to regulating this pricing arrangement and minimising cost burdens to customers.
