Interview with Tim Shaw, 2CC Canberra
24 October 2018
TIM SHAW: I'm pleased to say Angus Taylor Minister for Energy and member for Hume joins me now. Minister, good morning.
ANGUS TAYLOR: Good morning Tim, thanks for having me.
TIM SHAW: Great small business here in Mitchell, Pure Gelato - I bet they're paying a fortune for their energy.
Interview with Leon Byner 5AA Adelaide
24 October 2018
LEON BYNER: By far the biggest topic that you talk about and think about is your energy costs, for good reason. But the federal government have made some announcements and we're going to talk to the minister in a moment - the Minister for Energy - because the feds have decided that they want to stop these power companies price gouging, they also want to do something about late fees and as I said, up until now when people are telling you that your bill is going down, you ring me and say, Leon, my top right hand corner is going up, not down. I accept that.
Interview with Melinda James, ABC Radio Illawarra
24 October 2018
MELINDA JAMES: I'm joined now by Energy Minister Angus Taylor. Angus Taylor, good morning.
ANGUS TAYLOR: Morning, Melinda.
MELINDA JAMES: So, there are a few things at play here - you're talking about a new default power price. Can you explain to us how this would work?
Interview with Alan Jones, 2GB Radio
24 October 2018
ALAN JONES: I told you yesterday the Government would be unveiling a plan, which it claims will allow families and business to save hundreds of dollars a year off their power bills, and they've announced that the Australian Energy Regulator has started work on a price safety net. Now, I'll talk to Angus Taylor in just a moment. The concern I have here, Angus - and I know you're listening to me and it will be the first question I'll ask you - when we're prosecuting a case, we have to be able to do it in language that people understand.
Interview with Jonathan Green, ABC Radio National Drive
23 October 2018
JONATHAN GREEN: Would you like a cheaper power bill? I'm sure you would. Do you trust the Government and what it's announced today to deliver that for you? Let us know - 0418 226 576, send us a text. Will the Government lower your power price? Because it's decoupled that from its efforts to lower emissions and the Government is, as we hear today, pushing ahead with what's left of the National Energy Guarantee. Today, it outlined measures to establish a default energy price that retailers will be required to offer customers.
Interview with Chris Smith, 2GB
23 October 2018
CHRIS SMITH: Now, households could save at least between $273 and $832 a year on their power bills under a suite of changes proposed by the Morrison Government. According to a press conference that was held about 30 minutes ago, the Government will move to set a default price for electricity in line with a recommendation from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's inquiry into retail power prices. However, Labor says the Coalition is playing catch up on a policy the Opposition announced in August.
Interview with Leigh Sales, ABC 7.30
23 October 2018
LEIGH SALES: The Prime Minister's putting energy companies on notice, that he expects electricity bills to come down before the next federal election, but alongside that is the challenge of keeping power supplies reliable, particularly as we head into summer. Angus Taylor's the Energy Minister. He joined me from Canberra. Angus Taylor, thanks for being with us.
ANGUS TAYLOR: Thanks for having me, Leigh.
LEIGH SALES: Scott Morrison today used the term ‘fair-dinkum power generation’ - what does that mean?

SUBJECTS: More reliable and affordable power; Border protection.
PRIME MINISTER: Good morning everyone. This morning Angus and I met Colin and Avril Greef here in Canberra and we want their electricity bills, we want their electricity prices to be more affordable. We want their electricity prices to go down, that’s what we want to achieve, that’s what Angus Taylor is the Minister for, to get electricity prices down.
Interview with Spence Denny, ABC Radio Adelaide
19 October 2018
SPENCE DENNY: $200 million in fact, which comes in the form of subsidies and loans to try and assist people specifically in South Australia to have batteries installed to their solar panels. The Minister for Energy federally is Angus Taylor. Minister, good morning to you.
ANGUS TAYLOR: Good morning, Spence.
SPENCE DENNY: How will this work? I mean, do you actually have to have existing solar panels? It is a loan? What's the interest rate? How will it work?
Interview with David Penberthy and Will Goodings 5AA Adelaide
19 October 2018
DAVID PENBERTHY: A little bit later in the morning we're going to delve into the issue of Adelaide Oval price hikes. A lot of listeners particularly upset. I reckon we broke the record for comments on the 5AA Facebook page yesterday.
WILL GOODINGS: It went berserk didn't it-
DAVID PENBERTHY: Unbelievable.
