"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 ?"

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Consumers can expect to save between 20 and 50 cents each day on their electricity bills now the carbon tax has been repealed.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 Australiasays 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.
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."
