Australians to get at least three hours a day of free solar power - even if they don’t have solar panels

Good to see the ALP making a step in the right direction to tackle Australia's cost of living crisis.
It's only fair that the benefits of free electricity from residential rooftop solar are shared with all consumers.

Next:
- Investigate price-gouging for "network fees" and "poles & wires" charges by electricity wholesalers.
- Make electricity companies pay households a fair price for putting electricity they generated with their own rooftop solar into the grid. Currently, electricity companies take it for free or pay households a miserly feed-in rate. Some other countries have regulations to make power companies pay households equal rates for "give and take".
