Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has called out the former Liberal government’s privatisation of the energy grid in Victoria as the Labor government heads toward the election with a promise to renew the public ownership of part of the Australian state’s power network.
On Oct. 20, the premier said his Labor government would spend $1 billion (US$628 million) to revive the State Electricity Commission (SEC), which was privatised under the Kennett government in the 1990s, if it won the state election in November.
