The NSW Liberal-National Government has sold off half of our state’s electricity.
Since then, prices have sky rocketed while reliability has plummeted.
And they’re not finished with the power sell-off yet.
There is still a large part of our electricity network in public hands.
Essential Energy, which supplies most of regional NSW is still 100% publicly owned, Ausgrid and Endeavour are also still 49% publically owned.
Power privatisation means:
Higher electricity prices
A less reliable network with more blackouts
Massive local job losses
No control over the network
If we’re going to stop prices from skyrocketing while our service gets less reliable, we need to stop the Liberals and Nationals from selling off any more.
Sign the petition calling for a stop to the power sell-off, for good.
Add your name to the petition calling on Premier Berejiklian and Opposition Leader, Michael Daley, to stop the power sell-off, for good. We know the Premier has further privatisation in her sights, and we also need to Labor Opposition to rule out further privatisation of the network if they win the State Election in March.
