Honestly this just looks like industry backdoor lobbying in action and the government doing standard government double speak to confuse us laymen.

The case pointed out earlier with the Utilities commission is a good starting point as it ruled against O&G. Strong UCP donors will make up a large proportion of that, so they wouldn't want that to happen again. And then, the peak power generators are looking at losing a lot of their cash cow during peak times if the grid gets more normalized, so they won't want that.

So the Premier has one lobby fighting for it's rights over renewables and losing profit, the other lobby is looking at losing its cash cow to renewables, and both lobby's are most certainly the top backers of the UCP.

So all I expect out of her mouth is more deflections, rambling and inconsistencies, but this is how "democracy" works, everyone votes but only those with the most money actually win.
