During the select committee phase, some submitters did raise opposing views to certain provisions in the bill, in particular, the additional consumer protection objective for the Electricity Authority and moving aspects of Part 3 of the Act into the code. While these views were examined in detail by the committee, I believe it is worth noting them again—and I'll note again that the committee was unanimous in its recommendations that it did make. Some submitters suggested that the additional consumer protection objective for the Electricity Authority would be unnecessary and should be limited to a consumer protection function only. However, analysis conducted during the drafting process concluded that it is prudent to also change the objective, due to the risk that a consumer protection rule might be considered inconsistent with the existing objective. I note the select committee's report did not recommend any amendments to this provision in the bill as drafted, and I agree with this decision.
