Whilst you may think this is a stupid move, I can tell you it is an important move to the most vulnerable in the state. Instead of sitting on your backside complaining, how about coming out with me on Saturdays voluntarily visiting and assisting those in need through St Vinnies. For them, smaller monthly bills will be much more manageable than high quarterly ones. They really struggle managing their current bills.
As for reducing overall electricity bills, Jay is being proactive in a number of ways. Take for instance, the battery. The LNP laughed at him for this then suddenly realised it is in fact the way to go, so much so they also made it part of their own policy.

Yes, how great it is when we are able to have control over when our utilities are payable. The people who we visit are, pretty much, renters and most of these are renting through the Housing Trust. As such, they personally have no control over when their bills arrive. Additionally, many of them are somewhat transient, not staying in the one residence for more than a couple of years or so. What I do know is that, just about every week, we tend to see someone new who needs our immediate help as a result of having a large quarterly utilities bill having just arrived, leaving them with very little money for food etc.
Now I have to admit to taking Dogger at his word re this announcement of 'monthly charging' as this is the only thing I have read re this. All I can say is that it would make things somewhat easier for the people we see if they had smaller yet more frequent bills. This would be more manageable for them. Fortunately, once we see them, we are able to help them work out a payment plan with their utilities supplier in most cases. However, I can guarantee that we will continue to see new people coming up with the same problem of having a high quarterly bill , not knowing that there are actions that can be taken re this until a charitable institution such as St. Vinnies, Anglicare, the Salvos etc. help them work out how to pay it.

Correct, and well done on that. However, sadly, not everyone has the ability or sense to plan like that. We have to remember that some people in society have very little financial literacy or knowledge of how things work. Some have enough trouble just affording their groceries (or, in perhaps as many cases, suffer from mental health issues and/or squander money through addictions to cigarettes, alcohol, gambling etc.). In an ideal world, it would be wonderful if people could budget and put aside a few dollars a week to cope with future bills. This is what we try to get them to do, by providing budgeting counselling and also sometimes limiting our assistance to them until they have taken steps to improve their management of money. However, many don't think about future bills until they actually arrive.
Cheers
