My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. In a Tuesday interview on Sky with David Speers, the minister couldn't explain the government's policy to break up power companies, which he described as 'putting on the table the big stick'. Can the minister explain to the Senate and to Australians how the government would break up private power companies? What exactly is the big stick and exactly when will it be used?
