INTERVIEW | Draft DMO on ABC Gold Coast Drive

Tim Buckley’s interview starts at 1:06:51 in the following link: ABC Gold Coast Drive

Tom Forbes reports that the Australian Energy Regulator’s draft Default Market Offer for 2026–27 could reduce electricity prices in southeast Queensland, providing a benchmark and consumer safeguard. Tim Buckley explains that while most consumers can find better deals by shopping around, the policy ensures fair pricing. Regional Queensland remains under a regulated system. Proposed cuts of about 10% for households and 12.8% for small businesses are driven by rising renewable energy supply, although global gas prices and geopolitical tensions may still impact the final decision.
