I move:

That the Senate—

(a) acknowledges the recent electricity supply shortages in South Australia that resulted in rolling blackouts, even though generation capacity existed in gas power plants that lay idle;

(b) recognises the potential for batteries and energy storage to both stabilise energy supply and drive down costs in South Australia; and

(c) calls on the Government to fix the National Energy Market's rules and level the playing field by implementing 5-minute settlement periods.
