| Message | Mr Speaker, we are disappointed that the UFC have combined these two proposals. We could have been persuaded to support Article II, but certainly not Article I. In any case, Mr Speaker, how can the UFC claim that Article I will increase competition. State-owned industry generally dominates the market, and prevents private companies from prospering. The current situation regarding powerstations is fine. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, having over a hundred different power grids would be bedlam. Better to have just one that purchases power at a set rate. |
