Ahh very good. Definitely give me a heads up when it is out and I’ll have a skim over it – and try to put a post up, maybe 😛

Doing? I’m an economist I don’t really “do” 😀

Evidence gives me things to talk about – and I love talking 😛

SUrely you are not asking for evidence….? Isn’t enough that TRanspower says it is so? Seems to be good enough for govt. Evidence can be so annoying.

Very interesting. I would like a clear indication of what is exactly wrong with the industry before we change the regulatory arrangement.

Is their any issues with security of supply? Are prices excessive? Are prices too low? Ultimately, it is just a good – but it is a good that people really care about, which allows it to be used as political capital. I would just like to see some objective answers 😛

The Government is going to find itself in a real tangle on this. There is no doubt that Wolak will cane the industry – you only have to look at his track record and recent speeches on closely related issues.

At the same time the govt has bought an industry inspired regulatory reform agenda and has said they want more out of SOEs. These things can’t all happen.
