DAVID BEVAN: Angus Taylor, Federal Minister for Energy, welcome to ABC Radio Adelaide.
ANGUS TAYLOR: Thanks for having me.
DAVID BEVAN: Now, this has been a problem for people here in South Australia. We went for the privatised option about 20 years ago now, and ever since then you've had to get an energy retailer, but the cost of your power can go up after you've signed up with a retailer. What can you do to give people fair warning?

LEON BYNER: Well we know that the Federal Government have been able to be the conduit for a rule change where power retailers who you deal with, are now going to be forced by law as of next year - these things seem to take so long - anyway, the rules as of February mean they've got to give you five or six days' notice if they're going to put your prices up. We've got the Minister on the line. I'm very pleased to say that he's made himself available today.

CHRIS KENNY: Now, let me get on to our next guest. Joining us live from Goulburn in his electorate is the new Energy Minister Angus Taylor.

Thanks for joining us, Angus.

ANGUS TAYLOR: Thanks for having me, Chris.

KIERAN GILBERT: Now to my interview earlier this morning with the Energy Minister Angus Taylor. We discussed a range of issues but began with the fundamental question around the National Energy Guarantee - or the NEG as it's been called, that acronym - is it dead, is the government moving on from it? Here was my interview with Angus Taylor.

Energy Minister Angus Taylor, thanks so much for your time. Can I start with some clarification; is the NEG - the National Energy Guarantee - dead, as we once knew it?

FRAN KELLY: Well the Federal Government's drive to cheaper energy costs has been undermined this morning by revelations that Cabinet rejected a billion-dollar plan to help struggling households pay their power bills. Fairfax is reporting that Cabinet knocked back a proposal last month by the former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull for a one-off bonus worth up to $125 for pensioners and other low-income earners. Just a couple of weeks later Malcolm Turnbull was dumped as leader.
