Government’s price caps and energy policies ‘starting to work’Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones says there are early signs the government’s energy interventions are “starting to work”. 'The price caps and the policies we put in place in relation to gas and coal in culmination with the states, we’re seeing early signs that that’s starting to work,' Mr Jones told Sky News Australia. “So those longer-term contracts, the wholesale prices in the energy market will start to flow through in the prices that households are paying and that businesses are paying.” Yes very true, our bills are going up Yeah sure.

Tesla makes record profit, despite price cuts, inflation and Elon MuskTesla made record profits last year, even as high interest rates slowed down the global economy and hurt consumer sentiment, but the company's boss, Elon Musk, is dismissing speculation the car maker cut prices because of slowing demand, saying demand for the vehicles has reached record highs. …this belongs here- 🚮 You say that like Elon Musk is somehow a drawback. Our ABC seems genuinely confused by how the marketplace and competence works. I guess that what happens when you subsist on government hand outs 🤷🏽‍♂️

‘Longer term’ confusion on gas price caps as market prematurely stabilisesThere is a lot of confusion amongst energy producers about how the government’s price cap response is going to work “in the longer term,” according to The Australian's Environmental Editor Graham Lloyd. “The market seems to be stabilising,” Mr Lloyd told Sky News host Cory Bernardi. “If you look at prices in Europe, where they were very, very high because of the interruption from supplies from Russia, that shortfall has been taken up largely by the United States. “So gas prices in Europe are about 25 per cent of what they were at the peak and half the price they were in December.” He said with the government’s further discussions on price caps to still continue, “the gas producers may just say 'well, look, we'll put our money somewhere else”. The only confusion is 'how can they rip us off' when the Government is now calling the shots. i don't care what their confusion is just make power affordable. all this bullshit talk of clean cheap energy.... so where is it?
