There's good news for around two million Australian households as a result of the action taken by Prime Minister Turnbull, Mr Frydenberg and the government. That's why two million Australian households will have clear advice and information on how they can get onto a better energy deal and how they can save up to $1,500 per annum on their electricity bills just by changing the type of plan that they are on.

Over the last little while, there have been more than 300,000 visits to the government's Energy Made Easy website, showing that consumers want to see better options in terms of the retail information that's provided to them. That's why government action is helping to make sure that they get that information. We have also, of course, introduced legislation to abolish the limited merits review process which can stop the network's ability to game the system, which has cost consumers across Australia some $6½ billion since 2008. We will bring that gaming of the system to an end.
