"
He [Tony Abbott] didn't do anything about power prices when he was PM . Just a little bit hypocritical talking about it now isn't it ?"
Is the ABC not good enough for you or did you find the link did not work or are AGL and Energy Australia just making it up and did not really drop their prices?
Or are you lying?

Carbon tax repeal: Electricity bills set to fall after Senate passes repeal bills

Consumers can expect to save between 20 and 50 cents each day on their electricity bills now the carbon tax has been repealed.
Refunds will be issued for bills that included the carbon tax issued from July 1 this year - the timing of the refund will depend on individual bill cycles.
Energy Australia says the carbon component in its bills will be removed from prices by mid-September and will be applied as a credit on household bills.
Executive manager of corporate affairs Clare Savage says electricity prices for residential and small business customers will fall.
"We understand customers are facing cost-of-living pressures and the repeal means electricity prices will now drop," Ms Savage said.
"We have been clear [in saying] we will pass on the savings to households once the Federal Government stops collecting the tax from us.
"The carbon price removal will impact electricity and gas costs differently for each user as it will depend on their current tariff, where they live and how much energy they use.
"We will notify customers in the coming weeks about the pricing changes and what that will mean for them."
Ms Savage says work has already been done to remove the carbon component from the hundreds of different products and tariffs.
"Unfortunately implementing system changes to remove carbon is not as simple as pressing a button - altering prices is a highly complex process and it's important we make sure the changes are done correctly," she said.
A spokesman for energy company AGL told the ABC: "AGL Energy will communicate directly with customers about their price reductions due to the removal of the carbon tax.
"We have begun work to apply the relevant changes to our gas and electricity rates.
"
Once changes to our billing system have been implemented and tested, price reductions will be backdated to 1 July 2014. We expect this process to be complete in August or September."
