Today on No Filter, we're revisiting an episode that Mia did with Chloe Shorten on the 26th of April, 2017.... Chloe Shorten has attracted a lot of attention over the last few weeks. As the wife of Bill Shorten - who will potentially be our next Prime Minister - many have said that in this election campaign, they wished they could vote for Chloe. Chloe is a businesswoman, author, daughter of former Governor-General Quentin Bryce and mother of three. As a kid, she dreamed that she’d grow up, meet the love of her life, get married, have kids and grow old …..with that same person. But, like one in three marriages, Chloe’s life didn’t work out that way because her relationship fell apart. When Chloe Shorten separated from her husband of 10 years, she was concerned that it might affect her two young children. Then, when she remarried Opposition Leader Bill Shorten and blended her family, she got even more concerned. So, she went hunting for help. For books, for studies, for information about the best way to do everything from “the talk” when you sit your kids down to tell them their Mum and Dad aren’t going to live together anymore to introducing new partners, navigating custody and even, eventually introducing new step-siblings or new babies.

As we enter the final week of the election, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten are pulling out the big guns to grab your vote. As today Liberal Party launch, Morrison announced a Coalition government will underwrite home loan deposits for first-home buyers, who cannot reach the 20 per cent that most banks require. Labor have agreed to match this policy but some are worried this will have some negative impacts and if it really will encourage first-home buyers to enter the market. The Property Council of Australia's chief executive Ken Morrison says the new policy is a good sign for first home buyers. And because its Mother's Day, mother and daughter duo Amber and Jo Quigly from the Infant Boutique and Gourmet Baskets will join us to discuss just how working alongside your relatives in business can provide you with the flexibility and space needed to grow not only your family, but your business as well. Peter Switzer details what are the key "takeaway" lessons we can learn from the likes of some of our biggest fast food chains in Australia.

The final debate between Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has just taken place at the National Press Club. So let's dive in and look at what's just happened.

The Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has promised to boost wages by 20 percent and to increase subsidies to the child care rebate. The Coalition says the costs are prohibitive. But what are the Greens saying? And which party has the best interest of children at the heart of their policies? Samantha Page, CEO of Early Childhood Australia, breaks down the promises and what they really means for Australia's children.

The Pacific has become much more central to foreign policy discussions in Australia over the last few years, with clear political bipartisanship on the need to forge closer ties with Pacific nations. Prime Minister Scott Morrison in November last year declared that Australia would ‘step up' in the Pacific and take its engagement with the region to ‘a new level'. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten pledged in parallel that ‘a Labor Government will put the Pacific front and centre in our regional foreign policy'. Prime Minister Morrison during his November Pacific ‘step up' speech announced a vast swathe of initiatives across the diplomatic, military, financial and people-to-people realms for engagement with countries in the Pacific. What are the major driving forces behind Australia's Pacific ‘step-up', and how has it been received by Pacific nations? Australia's increasing focus on the Pacific has come against the backdrop of increased engagement by the People's Republic of China (PRC) with Pacific nations and Australian concerns about the regional balance of power. A major question that policymakers and analysts are grappling with is what the motivations behind China's activities in the Pacific are. What is the nature of the PRC's engagement with the Pacific, and how effective is it? How have Australian and PRC initiatives been received by Pacific nations thus far? And what scope might there be for cooperation between Australia, the PRC, and Pacific nations in regional development? Dr Tess Newton Cain, an independent researcher and consultant with over 20 years of experience in governance, policy and political analysis of the Pacific Islands region, joins Elena Collinson, senior researcher at the Australia-China Relations Institute (ACRI) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) to discuss these questions and more. Dr Newton Cain provides insights on the Australian strategic debate with respect to the PRC and the Pacific, the PRC's ambitions in the region, as well as – importantly – the views of Pacific nations, and more.

It has been a busy few weeks for international affairs, and this week Allan and Darren cover three pairs of issues. To begin, a pair of foreign policy speeches by PM Scott Morrison and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten. Next, the two discuss Foreign Minister Marise Payne’s first visit to China, pairing that with the Australian government’s raft of new initiatives for engagement with the South Pacific, what Darren is (affectionately) terming the “South Pacific Pivot / Rebalance”. The conversation also takes a quick detour into the State of Victoria’s participation in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Finally, a pair of elections—the US midterms and a new President in Brazil.  As always, our thanks go to AIIA interns Stephanie Rowell and Mani Bovell, Martyn Pearce of the ANU’s Crawford School, Rory Stenning for composing our theme music, and AIIA CEO Melissa Conley-Tyler.

Welcome to Furious Friday! I recently saw a news article about Australians being “promised new laws to slash up to $832 from their annual electricity bills” This article outlines; This is a “federal government move to toughen rules for big energy companies and demonstrate action on household costs”. Outline new laws “to set a default offer price for millions of consumers…response to calls from regulators …to put pressure on suppliers”. The Government “promises the default offer will ensure customers are not being "exploited" because they stay on the standing offer from their suppliers rather than shopping around for a better deal”. “Opposition Leader Bill Shorten revealed plans in August for simpler bills with "capped" prices under a Labor government, at the same time former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull outlined similar measures”. "Returning to the table to negotiate with Labor a bipartisan energy policy that will support the growth of renewable energy, bring down carbon pollution and bring down electricity prices for Australian households and businesses is in the national interest," Mr Butler said. “The "standing offers" used by companies such as AGL, Energy Australia and Origin have been criticised for years because loyal customers miss out on discounts and are punished for not shifting to different suppliers”. How will this work? ACCC’s "reference bill" says that, in each region, it makes it easier for customers to compare offers from different suppliers, which is great because this increases competition Where it gets bad – Default pricing or capped pricing forces sellers/suppliers to limit their prices. When you break this down, whilst it SEEMS like a good idea, it isn’t actually that great. Let’s look at the stats, and the claims that there will be price savings on electricity Government says the price premium to be saved could be $652 in Victoria, $411 in NSW, $369 in Queensland and $273 in the ACT ACCC's estimate of annual savings from the default tariff measure is much lower, at $105-$165. Either way, both the Government and the ACCC have said that it will lower prices. What price capping actually does, comes back to my favourite thing - The Supply vs Demand equation When capping the price at which goods and services are supplied, it reduces supply, and this lowers infrastructure in the long term. Especially when renewable energy is being forced upon suppliers as well, pressuring them to cut their emissions etc These things increase costs to suppliers… so how will they pay for it? Demand – With lower prices, demand goes up, people use more when something is cheaper. This is a bad situation – Reduced supply along with increased demand = Not enough power Lack of power - Rolling blackouts A rolling blackout - an intentionally engineered electrical power shutdown Electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region. Rolling blackouts are a last-resort measure used by an electric utility company to avoid a total blackout of the power system. They generally result from two causes: insufficient generation capacity or inadequate transmission infrastructure to deliver sufficient power to the area where it is needed. Rolling blackouts - common or even a normal daily event in many developing countries where electricity generation capacity is underfunded or infrastructure is poorly managed. Long term effects of price ceilings When companies have price-ceilings enforced by regulation and are what they can charge for a service is limited, this effects profits. Their incentive to invest in the infrastructure and the grid goes down because level of investment can only come from profits If profits are going down because prices are capped, as publicly listed companies they’re still obligate to maintain profits – otherwise investors dump their shares and the company can go out of business. A lot of individuals lose their jobs in the end. This results in a decrease in overall supply to the market.   Pakistan In Pakistan there are shortages day in and day out. This highlights the chronic underinvestment into infrastructure, long-term planning sacrificed to short-term expediency, lack of leadership, cronyism and corruption. Capped prices meant the companies had no funds to build infrastructure The dual effect of the government setting low electricity prices PLUS the customers failing to pay for it meant state utilities lost money, and couldn’t pay private power generating companies, which in turn could not pay the oil and gas suppliers… who cut off the supply. Infrastructure investment comes from revenues – if revenues drop, there is less money to maintain the power grid. Rolling blackouts in developed countries sometimes occur due to economic forces at the expense of system reliability (such as in the California electricity crisis of 2000-2001). Okay, lets look to a developed nation, and specifically, California in 2000-200. California had a shortage of electricity supply caused by market manipulations, and a capped retail electricity prices was one major factor The state suffered from multiple large-scale blackouts, one of the state's largest energy companies collapsed, and the economic fall-out greatly harmed Governor Gray Davis' standing. There were delays in producing some power due to weather By keeping the consumer price of electricity artificially low, the California government discouraged citizens from practicing conservation. When the electricity demand in California rose, utilities had no financial incentive to expand production, as long-term prices were capped. In February 2001, California governor Gray Davis stated, "Believe me, if I wanted to raise rates I could have solved this problem in 20 minutes”. There are many other examples of asset pricing, like New York housing (which lead to it becoming derelict), gas shortages in the USA, and many others… (if you are interested, let me know) How do we solve this? The average bill is $1576 p.a. in Australia, where as in France it is $1178 pa (731 Euros) – 34% lower How they do this? Nuclear power – it is a viable, clean, option. Where it goes wrong: Poor construction – Chernobyl Building on a fault line – Fukashima If it is done well it is the best solution to the electricity price issues. Either cap prices = No power for anyone, or increase supply through more power with no environmental pollution As always, thanks for listening!
