The Federal Government is becoming increasingly divided over the national energy guarantee. Some ministers who are believed to have reservations about the NEG are under pressure from backbench colleagues to quit their portfolios and vote against the policy. They are said to include Keith Pitt, the assistant minister to Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack. Meanwhile, Treasurer Scott Morrison has rejected a push to include a price guarantee in the NEG, stating that it is inconsistent with "Liberal values".
