Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek tells us the government is working on a future plan to lower energy prices. Meanwhile, Australians must plan immediately on paying higher and higher power bills, writes James Macpherson.

Cynics would be right to fear that by announcing they intend to do something the government believes it has done something.

One can only imagine how baffled government ministers must be that, despite so many earnest statements of intent, energy prices continue to rise.

This, of course, would be the “real problem” she is “absolutely determined to do something about”, though is unable to say - since it is not for her to say - what that something to be done will be. She did not mention that the war was already well underway when Labor hopefuls ran around the country promising to cut power bills if we voted for them.

Ms Plibersek talked about “what all of this shows” which was that energy prices were out of control, there was a war in Ukraine, and the previous government, like her own, had no plan.

macsween_prue As opposed to the LNP that had NO plan.

Why

mtmcmill This chart shows the scale of the current energy shock. In 2022 advanced economies are set to spend +17% of their GDP on energy, higher than over the last 40 years. It is clear that Europe is at the centre of this and some countries like Australia will probably have to pay more

Oxymoron if ever there was one!

One word from Ms Plibersek and they’ll do what they like. It’s all Labor spin.

Good to know she's working on something......

Yes they have to make sure that not only are the glorified milk floats financially inaccessible to the masses, but the juice to charge em.

Indigenous voice to parliament ‘separating Australians based on their race’: HansonOne Nation leader Pauline Hanson says indigenous voice to parliament is “separating Australians based on their race” and that they “don’t have any more rights over it than I do”. “It’s about equality for all Australians regardless of your race, you know, to say that I have no connection to the land is a load of 'bs', I was born here, I love this country, they don’t have any more rights over it than what I do,” Ms Hanson told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Forget about the fact is they were the first peoples here in this nation, that’s going back 60,000 years ago, deal with today in the now. “It will be rushed through, people will vote emotionally with it, thinking oh yeah why not it’s not gonna have an impact on us. “I don’t trust the governments I don’t trust them at all.” We have no idea what's in it yet.
