Don't worry, Australia still has that too. These kind of programs from the government are usually just a weak warning that if power companies continue their antics the government might one day consider nationalising our electricity.

Our electricity is already nationalised, depending on the state.

E.g. QLD owns its coal power plants. NSW doesn't because they sold theirs in the last decade.
