Instead of waiting until 2027 for "advice", maybe Labor could follow advice from its own 2020 Senate report that rejected the anti-intellectual & inequitable scheme as creating an "Americanised education system characterised by high levels of private debt". And get rid of it. As promised. In 2022.

Red Energy are really leaning into the spirit of the free electricity window. My quote to access the free period increased my rates across the board, in particular the daily supply charge by more than 100% & off peak rate by 45%. I would be materially worse off accessing "free electricity" #auspol
