New agency goes into bat for consumers over their power bills

From Nine To Noon, 9:15 am on 17 August 2022

Last week's cold snap had many around the country reaching to turn up the heat - putting pressure on the national grid and household power bills.

Those higher bills are of great interest to the Consumer Advocacy Council - born out of a recommendation from the Electricity Price Review, which looked into how the market was working for residential consumers.

Deborah Hart is chair of the Council - which has recently held its first board meeting. She joins Kathryn to talk about what the Council will be focused on.
