Subject line: Stop Nathan Rees' back-door sell-off
Body Text:
Dear Member of the NSW Parliament,
I ask you to oppose any attempt by Premier Nathan Rees and Treasurer Eric Roozendaal to sell off NSW's electricity retailers and lease trading rights of the generators through the back door.
The government is showing contempt for parliament and for the people of NSW.
In February 2008, the former Treasurer gave a direct assurance to parliament that the sale of any part of the electricity industry would not happen without the support of parliament. He did this to ward off a Greens bill that would have closed the loophole preventing a sale by administrative decision.
Privatisation of retailers will lead to higher bills, fewer jobs and reduced services. It will make it harder for NSW to cut its CO2 emissions, at a time when the NSW government should instead be using its control over the electricity industry to rapidly transition to a clean energy future.
I urge you to represent the views of your constituents on this important matter and put an end to Nathan Rees' Plan C sell-off.
Sincerely,
[insert name and address here]
