Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says Australians will see an increase in their electricity bills under the new Labor government.

“We have to be responsible domestically in our own policy settings, and we have to be very mindful that people can afford in what will be a very difficult couple of years under Labor.

“And so, we’ll have policies, we’ll support policies which aren’t going to turn lights off in small businesses, aren’t going to send families broke in the suburbs because they can’t afford Labor’s power bill, and I also want to support domestic manufacturing.”

Gee it’s almost like 9 years of shit policy & practice will have an impact.

And they would have under the Coalition too.....

The lies are out from day 01. The price rises are because of Morrison/Taylor/Frydenberg LNP policies put in place months ago, as I understand it..()

Has nothing to do with Albo but more so before Liberals lost May21 & was told to support US sanctions

Ah because theyre soooo affordable currently.

Yeah, of course...because your shifty mob cooked the books and mislead everyone leading into the election. Liars, thief's and scoundrels. That doesn't change when your in oppo Spud.

you mean the rises lnp signed off on. and contributed too with no policy and no action. ThisIsNotJournalism

Spud just continues the LNP lies.

Well, Labor needs to reduce emissions shut down all coal powered stations reduce the world temperature reduce CO2 from 0.04% in the atmosphere and after all that’s done , then you’ll paying out of your backside for for electricity and blackouts everyday

Thanks for the anti labor propaganda Murdoch

Sure that’s why your government withheld the news of the power increase from 1 may, Mr Dutton, seriously do they think average Australians are stupid, Bit like the boats the SriLankan Navy let lose every time he needs to make a statement on border security

A Better Future - Labor failed to look at economic data from around Australia and overseas, but went ahead making promise after promise knowing they could not deliver. The gullible lapped it up. Auspol2022

When ever has there been a decrease

He is correct everything will be getting more expensive under Labor.

i was once a liberal but now cant stand the mud slinging and scare tactics which they think will encourage people to vote for them. peter dutton does not get it, i think the liberals will be in opposition for a long time. australians want politicians who can articulate new ideas.

Didn't the Coalition delay the release of the Energy Market Operator report to after the election instead of the first of May like it's supposed to?

Deadset true

And we know why there is a increase in power supply, dutton! It all comes back to you and your corrupt, incompetent and dishonest LNP cronies with your heads stuck firmly up each others backsides!

When you think the LNP can't sink any lower, they come out with this crap

What a Joke, Because you bastards delayed the price rise announcement till after the election

Because labour control coal prices and the multinationals that are controlling the prices. Maybe they should tax the hell out of them and subsidies prices!!

So it's now the Liberals turn to tell Australia how bad the Labour party are doing, etc.

Is that on top of the increases Libs held back until after the election or the same ones? Why hasn’t Sky ask Angus how we ended up with massive power increases on his watch

Kudos to the Libs for keeping our electricity prices at bay! 👍🏽

They were going to see them under an LNP govt too...Dutton knows this of course.

Omg same BS.

Truth is coal price was heading skywards long before Scomo left and generators shutting down for maintenance are forcing the price up So yes, people will see prices rise but it's coal generation doing it not political parties Dutton is just stirring the pot As usual, just noise!

Of cause they will, soon people have to face the rocketed electricity bill and Petrol price.

increase in all bills

AnthonyJMConroy Just like the Climate Zombies pushing zero Fossil fuels it's a foregone conclusion or as AlboMP would say 'wull' its because of the Ukraine

What about the subs.

Due to the policies of the former govt. Nothing has substantially changed in 8 working days since the election in terms of the way the energy market operates. Desperate, dishonest, determined to con those people who pay not attention to policy or politics. Disgraceful.

Well.....Someone has to pay for their defacto, the Green nutters.

Of course they will go up! All because of the former government, isn't that what the Lib's have said for the past 10 years. Play nice for a change Sky. The alternative will be The Spud and The Dud

Oh and he’d know

Why didn't Peter Dutton make that public in March, when the decision was formally released...to the LNP government. They held back the information until after the election. Sneaky!

but Angus Taylor requested that the price increases didn't start till after the election (May 25th). Do the liberals think we're stupid

That was preordained I’d imagine.

I’m still waiting for the 10% drop Morriscum promised. HerrKipfler

I think you mean the last ten years of LNP coalition govevrnments failed to provide a framework under which electricity prices maintain affordability.

They already have increased thanks to an old LNP government.

For the next 6 months, any increases in anything is collateral damage from the excesses & mgt failure of the govt of which PeterDutton_MP was a Senior Member. Labor has been in govt for 7 days. How on earth can energy price rises be down to Labor's watch? The lies continue ...

He is correct and should know since he was part of 9 years of denial. Angus Taylor and the now sacked treasurer knew all along they were helping to push prices by not regulating cost. Then ran a fraudulent campaign about lowering power cost. LNPCorruptionParty FederalICAC

Incomplete misleading information from PeterDutton_MP as reported by the experts in misinformation Boycott SkyBewsAust

Why not balance the story with the truth!

Those electricity price increases that were supposed to be released May 1 but delayed till May 25 after the election. Or the interest rate increases coming because the liberal party mismanaged the economy. Or the inflation rate.

Off course all the rich liberals invest in electricity companies to punish labour

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dutton

The LNP trying to blame Labor when it was Angarsehole Minetaylings withheld the Release that should have been March 1st!

This was on the cards well before Labour was sworn in PeterDutton_MP the Liberals actually kept this from the public before the election, time to be different Tell the Truth!!

Good try, but another own goal from the Murdoch filth. Dutton has no credibility on this issue.

If you are going to produce less of something in a more expensive manner, of course.

SKY NEWS AND DUTTON TROWL THE BOTTOM OF THE SEWERS AND ESTABLISH A NEW RECORD FOR FAKE NEWS AND BS WITH THEIR COMMENTS AND NEWS!!

RIP Liberal Party.

Dan Andrews is offering every Victorian household 250 just for comparing your electricity price and shopping for a better deal. What a legend.

Nice try. Already going as a result of a decade of coalition governments and still no energy policy.

Haha, reads like power prices wouldn't have risen under Morrison, yet his policies contributed to coal and gas increases. Sky News where trust goes to die.

They will. Will it be the fault of the government? No. It would've, and has, happened under a LNP government.

And Pete's party suppressed the news until post-election. Sky News, information for those without functional memory.

MurdochRoyalCommission ICAC coming soon

Yep, thanks to his party’s reluctance to diversify our energy supply with AngusTaylorMP as energy minister.

Thanks but we saw plenty of increases in all bills and wage stagnation under liberals Typical conservative, all blame no solution. Another fucking 3 years of blame and negativity from the liberals... I'm over it

Wonder what would happen, if a lot of consumers told the Power Companies to disconnect their F%k Power a Protest of sorts.🤔

Well that didn’t take long for the opposition to start blaming Labor for Morrison’s mismanagement.

Electricity prices started going up under the coalition mob, and he makes this stupid statement immediately after becoming their leader, they will never learn, they are just a bunch of grubs.

Well, we saw power bill increases under LNP, stands to reason. AusPol

Albo and the teals needs to feel the heat on electricity prices and climate scaremongering. How long will it take for the public to see through we are being conned by Labour.

No one gives a fuck what Spud dribbles

Thanks to the liberals inaction over 9 yrs and 3 leaders.

But why are prices rising so much is it a cash grab by Fossil Fuel Companies or Power Companies or both.🥺

And $2 trillion plus debt by 2025!

Because one week of power will do that. 🥹

The regulator was putting the prices up before the election... Thanks Dutton

Yes, thanks to DUTTON'S government.

Really that was in the news last week damn ur on the ball man

President Xi’s China the ‘biggest issue’ Australia will face: DuttonAustralia's government have decided its not part of Asia and have embarked on a xenophobic warmongering policy towards Asia.

Dutton leaves open blocking Labor climate policiesThe next opposition leader said the price and reliability of energy was his key focus, amid jockeying in the Nationals over who will lead the junior Coalition party. He needs hair plantation Does he have the numbers in the Senate to do this? After the price hikes we're about to get because of the rampant negligence and malfeasance of his government, he should be nowhere near that.

The question Dutton may ask himself: What would Howard do?The Uluru Statement and voice referendum will help define the Albanese government. But it will also tell us what sort of leader Peter Dutton will be – whether he'll see it as a gift, or a political weapon, writes Stan Grant. Lose his seat in disgrace only to be wheeled out in desperation during elections in a futile attempt to win seats under threat from Independents? The LNP are the party of government. By which I mean, all they care about is winning government. They don't actually stand for anything else. It won't take them long to work out that Dutton is not their answer so it doesn't matter what sort of leader he is in the meantime. Lie?
