At the COAG Energy Council meeting on 7 October the government, with the agreement of the states and territories, established an independent inquiry to develop a national reform blueprint to maintain energy security and reliability in the national electricity market. The review will draw together and build on the analysis and findings of a number of reports commissioned by all Australian governments through the Energy Council, including reports by the Australian Energy Market Operator and the Australian Energy Market Commission into future power system security and the impact of carbon mitigation policies. Any inquiry established prior to the reporting of the review is premature.

Question agreed to.
