It's simply supply/demand economics. By Govt capping supply cost - companies will decrease demand. greeneconomics by AlboMP imo will likely lead to increased cost if living across the board.

Price caps never work. This was completely predictable.

If they want to make themselves an enemy of the aus people, good luck. It will just give politcians the green light to do more.

Proving that all they care about is profit ... energy should be nationalised and these price gougers eliminated.

I think that started happening back in June '22.

I'm always amazed at how and why lefties hate capitalism so much.
