Barnaby Joyce says he will support the Turnbull government's National Energy Guarantee on the condition that it creates a "plan B" to cut electricity prices in case the NEG doesn't work as promised.

| Barnaby Joyce has threatened to cross the floor if his demands aren't met. |
The former deputy prime minister, who has reserved the option of crossing the floor to oppose the plan, made the demand of Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg by phone on Saturday evening.
Mr Joyce proposed the government create a divestment power option as a threat to break up the energy firms in the event that they fail to cut power prices.
Read the story from The Age - “Barnaby Joyce names his price for support of the NEG, new pricing powers.”
