The Australian Government’s energy proposals may increase the price of power for many households. The "green" paper proposes changes in the pricing of electricity to give consumers greater control over their use of energy. Narelle Rothery of South Australia said that it would be difficult for families to move household power usage to off-peak periods

Australian Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane has argued that the current friction between farmers and the gas sector especially in New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria could be addressed by giving the former a share of the royalties. While this would overturn the long-held legal position that rural landholders do not own the resources below the ground, an access and royalty sharing regime has already been negotiated in Queensland. Santos and AGL Energy have also struck similar deals in NSW, but have upset their rivals with the move. Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce backs the push as well. Meanwhile Macfarlane says there will be no domestic gas reservation policy
