The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
Gerard Maley CLP
“Madam Speaker, I present a Bill titled Electricity Legislation Amendment (Market Reform) Bill 2025, Serial 36, and table the explanatory statement. I move that the Bill be now read a first time. Today I present two interdependent Bills. The first Bill is titled the NT Electricity System and Market Operator Bill 2025.”
Selena Uibo ALP
“Madam Speaker, we support the cognate Bills because it makes sense. Thank you, Deputy Chief Minister, for clearing that up because we assumed that these Bills would have a similar aspect.”
Bill Yan CLP
“Madam Speaker, I support the CLP government’s electricity market reform legislation. I listened again to the Leader of the Opposition trying to rewrite history.”
Steven Edgington CLP
“Mr Deputy Speaker, I support the electricity market reform legislation introduced by the Deputy Chief Minister. As the Minister for Essential Services, one of my core responsibilities is to ensure that Territorians are provided with a secure and reliable power supply.”
Khoda Patel CLP
“Mr Deputy Speaker, first I thank the minister for bringing this important reform before the House. For too long, Territorians have been left waiting for real leadership in the power sector. After years of neglect, uncertainty and delay under Labor, the CLP Finocchiaro government is finally doing the hard work to deliver stability, reliability and accountability in our electricity system.”
Matthew Kerle CLP
“Mr Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill for my people of Blain and the residents of Moulden, Woodroffe and Bellamack. I will speak about the human impact of eight years of Labor neglect of our power grid in its pursuit of ideology over keeping the lights on. On Monday 20 October at 7.”
Clinton Howe CLP
“Mr Deputy Speaker, I thank the Opposition Leader for thanking the Power and Water staff. It is a nice change to hear members on the other side of the Chamber supporting our good public servants. It is a shame not everybody in the LaborGreensJohnston alliance followed suit.”
