Interview with Tom Connell, Sky News Live
16 November 2018
TOM CONNELL: Well, as mentioned at the top of the hour, good news today for 150,00 customers with AGL. They have announced there will be automatic discounts, a so-called safety net for people on those standing offers- the higher default offers. Now, we'll be getting discounts up to $150 per household. That has come after a government threat to use this so-called big stick of divestment if savings weren't offered upfront and by 1 January. Joining me now is the Energy Minister Angus Taylor for more on this. Minister, thanks very much for your time.

Doorstop at energy retailers roundtable Sydney
7 November 2018
ANGUS TAYLOR: I've just come from an extremely constructive and productive discussion with many of the energy companies from across the sector. We've made clear to them now for many weeks, that we want to see an end to the confusion that customers suffer when they are trying to enter into a contract with an electricity company. We've said to the companies very clearly that we want to see an end to the loyalty tax that's paid by customers who trust their retailer and don't negotiate a new contract every year.

Interview with Patricia Karvelas, ABC RN Drive
7 November 2018
PATRICIA KARVELAS: The federal government is claiming a victory of sorts in its bid to get energy retailers to lower their prices by January next year. The Government has campaigned heavily on bringing down the cost of power, but its proposed default energy price doesn't kick in until 1 July. With a federal election due before then, the political cost of a long, hot summer with air conditioners running at full tilt looms large. The Energy Minister is Angus Taylor and he met with the industry retailers today. He joins us on RN Drive - Angus Taylor - welcome.

Interview with Ross Greenwood Money News, 2GB
7 November 2018
ROSS GREENWOOD: Today all of the bosses of the big energy companies were trotted to Canberra to basically go before Australia's Minister for Energy, Angus Taylor, who has told them that the prices for electricity - your electricity, whether you're in business on whether you're in a home - has to come down this year. Now, the way in which that's going to be done is going to be interesting - is it simply a case that they cut their prices? But there's other bits and pieces around energy as well today.
