Energy Rebate,Anthony Albanese,Chris Bowen

Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen has defended Albanese government action on power prices ahead of a $300 energy bill rebate coming into effect.

Bowen dismisses suggestion govt's plan to bring down power prices is not working ahead of $300 energy bill rebate from July 1

At a press conference in Sydney on Saturday, Mr Bowen was asked whether the rebate showed the government's plan to bring down electricity prices was not working."It shows that we are providing real cost-of-living relief from Monday for every Australian with an energy bill in the face of the biggest energy crisis the world's seen since the early 1970s around the world.

"But this is practical support now to support and complement our rollout of the cheapest form of energy, which is renewables." The opposition stuck the boot in again last week as it sought to win over Australians as part of its push for the nation to add nuclear energy into the mix. "Power bills have already increased by up to $1,000 for many Australians, when they were promised a $275 cut."
