Energy debate recall a stunt, Dutton says

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has labelled the return of parliament to debate energy relief measures as just a stunt.

Federal parliament will be recalled on Thursday to debate plans to cap gas for 12 months at $12 a gigajoule, roll out bill relief for welfare recipients and place a temporary cap on coal of $125 a tonne.

The proposed laws would also set up mandatory "gas market codes" to regulate the supply and purchase of gas.
