When asked about the government's energy subsidies in May, the Treasurer said:

We only extended it for 6 months, rather than 12 months, because we know that at some point this electricity bill relief will taper away and will have to end.

What is the government's plan to ensure Australians aren't slugged again with even higher energy prices next year when the subsidies are scheduled to end?
