Government’s energy plan ‘does nothing’ to deal with infrastructure, supply issues

“And it does absolutely nothing to deal with the infrastructure issues and the supply issues which are actually the foundation of this problem,” Ms Di Russo told Sky News host Caleb Bond.

“Unfortunately, there is no quick fix and unfortunately it is about changing state government policy so that there’s more exploration. “So that there is better management of infrastructure and not just closing down power stations because you think coal is unfashionable.”

Sky news enough said

For God's sake your Scum News Commentators were bleating where is the reduction to help those in need. Now it's going to happen as promised your on about energy again but kissed Voldemorts backside who had nothing to offer other than negativity. I loathe your channel.👎

Sky RWNJs: Make power prices come down! Also Sky RWNJs: Not like that!

Exactly except the bandaid doesn't fix anything but only hides the true damage and scares.

It’s better then a pamphlet the previous lot had.

Band aid for labor & a gaping wound festering from neglect from the LNP corporation when they had a policy but at this time they don't even have any policies at all, no ideas, no plans nothing on offer what so ever....take the band aid so we can stop hemorrhaging

Sky News: Representing losers for the next three years.

How many seats do the LNP have in WA and is Di Russo the acting president of that failed party?

'Caroline Di Russo says?' 😂😂🤣🤪

Di Russo should start every article stating she is acting president of the WA liberal party and only has two seats in parliament after being wiped out before making any further comment

What would anyone who 'contributes' to an organisation like SKY know about the subject. Labor has done far more in the few months it has been in power than the corrupt shower called a Coalition did in 9 years of sitting on their hands.

Labor are just shifting the deck chairs on the Titanic again. All part of the CLEAR PLAN that they're making up as they go along .

Imagine what life would have been like if the LNP pulled their collective fingers out of their collective rses 10 years ago..they might still be in government

Generate your own energy. It all starts at home. Never rely on government.

Band, aid. Better than a Scott M

In her defence Caroline is not very bright.

Sky as usual providing the opinion of leading energy expert. Di Russo is a Liberal Party office holder - they did so well on energy policy. She’s a lawyer which of course “closely” aligns with energy policy. And she’s a columnist so she feels capable of opining on anything.

OMG *yawn* it’s the same shit EVERY day over at conservative cable TV. Surely even the RWNJ viewers must be getting bored. The bold and the beautiful storyline moves faster than these guys!

Hahahahahahahaha

The pretend Journalists at Sky Clown News thinks they have the answers.

I'll just put this here .

Oh no, well tell them to change it then!!

SkyNews? Murdoch? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

🤣

Who is Di Russo What qualifications does she have that her opinion is of value

Did she offer another solution though?🤔

My hamster, who is far more intelligent and knowledgeable than Caroline, says it's a good, sensible plan, under the circumstances.

These two really do not have a clue want to do. Net zero is suicidal and unachievable.

'Caroline Di Russo is a lawyer with 15 years of experience, specialising in commercial litigation and corporate insolvency.' Definitely who we need to listen to about energy policy.

Better than LNP hiding electricity increases prior to election and no idea post election from opposition. Dutton doesn’t even understand about battery storage. 😂😂🤡😂😂

Caro now a self appointed energy expert! Incredible effort from the Sky comedy channel contributor! As president of the WA Libs Caro should be working non stop fixing that rabble not reading Sky scripts!

Of course she does.

Would that be the same Caroline Di Russo who is the current President of the WA Liberals? That Caroline Di Russo? Lol, okay then, sure…

at least they follow with plans .

Newscorpe grappling with reality!

Remind us - Who IMPLEMENTED an energy plan more than a decade ago ? FYI LABOR. Who then immediately repealed that energy plan when they took over ? The LNP coalition. Thank you for admitting that we are screwed BECAUSE OF THE LNP COALITION

Given that sjky news doesnt even understand basic science e.g. climate change - we can ignore everything they say about 'energy plans'

Oh, THAT Caroline Di Russo: 'Daniel Andrews heading for lame duck leadership'. 2 weeks before the Vic election.

Sky News 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Do we actually have anyone at Sky the contributes to 'real news'? Methinks not.

Is somebody threatening daddy Murdoch's investments?

We can go back to cheap energy (coal) or keep looking in renewable energy and prices out of control

Lucky for her you don't need qualifications to contribute to Sky News. 100% fact free.

Is a contributer someone who has no qualifications to speak on a subject, but does anyway because they're a right wing boot licker that suits your anti Labor narrative?

Got rich off the taxpayer?

Albonomics 101: 1. Increase energy prices for taxpayers with net zero to combat non-existent global warming 2. Get taxpayers to pay for energy subsidies because we all know renewables do not provide cheaper grid power then coal

Let collectively stop paying our power bills and see what happens

Well she would. She’s a Sky contributor incapable of independent thought.

For 9 years LNP did nothing but boost the coffers of FossilFuels industry allowing export of majority of supplies. Dodgy Taylor failed us + hid the facts about energy price increases hoping to retain power. LNP with Russia have created an unfathomable mess. MurdochGutterMedia

Bah humbug!

THE LABOR PARTY IS DOING BETTER IN 6 MONTHS THAN THE LNP GOV DID IN 9+ WASTED YEARS UNDER PATHETIC LIAR MORRISON.

Their governorship is a disaster already that will last one term. 😆

That’s labor for you

Sky News - what a Bunch of Flogs

What would you know about it? Are you paid to make these stupid comments?

Another few years and we will have enough cheaper clean renewable energy to fill in these gaps and won’t be dependent on these greedy corporations

Sky really have become the whinging channel,no facts just whinging,the cap was what was needed and why these fossil fuel companies hadn’t offered to do it is pure greed,they are making fortunes exporting atm and couldn’t even do the right thing by the country that produces it,

Caroline Di Russo would not know her arse from her (right wing) elbow

“Commercial litigation and corporate insolvency”👍👍🙄

Labor policy Throw money at it and get more debt. Doesn't fix anything but makes them feel better.

Russo is such an expert🤪

Why do you think they are building more transmission lines

The 2 most uninformed,arrogant,useless public servants, just like Rudd the Dud and the red witch...HOPELESS

Probably echoed by all the 6 people who watch

It’s better to have a band aid then have the last LNP govt bleed us dry

Caroline Di Russo says. HahahahahahH

Not terribly surprising because Caroline Di Russo is a member of the West Australian Liberal Party and the chair of the WA Liberal's 'Law and Inter-Governmental' sub-committee which gives her a 100% qualification in bias and a 0% qualification in energy and energy policy.

Another bagful of slogans and shit from Sky. Like anybody cares anymore…

Hopefully they be working on the plan for next xmas - before next December.

I wasn’t aware she was an expert on energy prices.

Band aid? They are running around like headless chooks! Can’t put a band aid on a headless chook!

So what is your solution Caroline? Just like all Right Wingers, you never propose one.

A Murdoch hack disagrees. No way!

Citizens says Sky News contributor Caroline Di Russo commentary is “no more than a Bland-GAid”.

WTF would she know.

Who the fucks Caroline di Russo & what are her qualifications?

True. They need a gas windfall tax like the EU and a reservation policy like WA. Your fossil fool boss may not like it though.

this image speaks for itself....date night, can't believe they wore the same thing!

It’s better than what the LNP ever did.

The Government has done nothing to stop the RBA from interest rate rises. Minerals and gas exports is priority to foreign countries at a cheaper rate than Australian taxpayers! Sack Albo and reinstate Scomo before we all go broke 🙏

Hilarious...

Are opposition politicians so lost for words they need to rely on media storytellers to make up crap for them, or what?

Rupert Murdoch rolls out another talking head to pretend they are an expert on power generation and distribution to drive home his stall thinking

it’s okay as everyone knows they can’t do anything about it so we will all be lucky to get a dollar

Wow she's an energy expert now as well as being some sort of lawyer and inheriting the presidency of the wa liberal party by default as the president quit due to its appauling refusal to reform and its links to the clan.

Contributor😂😂😂😂 sky relies on contributors not news

Humbug

Caroline Di Russo the unbiased acting president of the ever popular Western Australian Liberal Party?

How did you go backing the Liberals in Victoria?

The Labor government has created a mess that it can't clean up.

Call it what you like. Labor is delivering

And she knows this how?

You can’t destroy political bigotry no matter the clarity of the defeat.

the only requirement to be a sky commentator is you got to bash ALP... qualifications to comment on anything that requires knowledge on the subject is not required at all

Dorothy23897725 She’s absolutely right. Albanese using the national cabinet, a device put together only to deal within the parameters of the covid crisis, to hastily piece together a vague capping of fuel prices. Albanese came to power lying about reducing the cost of energy. There was no plan!

Thats 20 something less band aides than the LNP tried over the past 10 yrs. I suppose they were successful in hiding the price increases from the public during the election.

It's almost like those aren't actually Federal Government responsibilities. Not that Sky would have a clue about that small detail 🙄

Frydenberg's halving of petrol excise was nothing more than a band aid, nor was his job-keeper, nor was his increased job seeker. Did nothing for infrastructure and blew out an already failing budget. This is funded by increase in tax receipts and royalties.

CaroDiRusso has zero qualifications regarding energy policy/markets. Zero. Flogging 2nd hand handbags online & law just don't cut it.

You guys hate reality, democracy and science, oh and women's rights, etc. What on earth do you want?

You people got a real loose definition of 'contributor' ...

Virtue signaling. Something this regime is very good at!

Why does this photo remind me of the movie dumb and dumber ?

9 years of mismanagement by LNP. It is time to fix their mistakes.

Of course a Sky News contributor would say that. As always bias.

What would she know? She works for Murdoch

Tweddle dumb and tweddle dee…never run a business but running Australia ☹️🥲🙄

Bandaids stop bleeding.

The 2 no chins..= weak men.

So vote Liberal and do nothing. Then don't tell anyone a price rise is coming because there is an election due and the Liberals think the mining council are their voters...all will be OK because everyone believes what Liberals say. That's the Liberal plan isn't. Lazy and lie.

Nothing!

Renewables doing fine I see 😂🤦

Meghan and Harry’s ‘modus operandi’ is to ‘make money out of trashing the Royal Family’The Australian Media Writer Sophie Elsworth says it's worrying to see Netflix put on a series where Megan and Harry trash the royal family for money. “This is really a worry that Netflix are putting out this series which already has holes all through it, and we haven’t even seen the first episode,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “Sadly, this is what they give the royals for Christmas, and that is to trash the family.” Meaning that Murdoch numpties now have competition? 🤔 It's exactly what I expected from Netflix.

It’s ‘really hard’ for millennials to see conservatism as a ‘viable option’YouTuber and commentator Daisy Cousens says it’s “really hard” for the millennial generation to see conservatism as a viable option. New research from the Australian Election Study this year revealed millennials are actually becoming less likely to vote conservative. “I think in the case of Australia there’s a number of factors, the first and most obvious one is just a total lack of good conservative leadership at a political level,” Ms Cousens told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “The second thing … is that millennials are missing two of what I think are the key conditions that push people rightwards as they get older. “That is one, earning a house and two having a child.” I find it hard to listen to anything Daisy Cousens says, despite the fact I tend to agree with her on most things. She's the conservative equivalent of an influencer or mummy blogger. Has she ever had a real job? Perhaps because the MurdochGutterMedia has hijacked mainstream conservative politics and pushed far-right, toxic garbage that educated folks see for what it is. Send them to China for a week and then tell me which side of politics they favour. Also, as a 'YouTuber' and 'Commenator', she probably derives her income from being paid to talk, so how can anyone take what she has to say as 'gospel'

‘Unedifying time’ ahead for US as Trump tries to be ‘top Republican’US Studies Centre Associate Professor Brendon O’Connor says there is an “unedifying time” ahead for the United States if Donald Trump wants to re-establish himself as the “top Republican” candidate. “I suppose these legal issues, the issues to do with classified documents that he took to Mar-a-Lago and elsewhere – they will all be things that have the potential of slowing down his attempts to, I think, have a second crack at the presidency,” he told Sky News Australia.

Australia is ‘in a position’ to be a ‘renewable energy superpower’Assistant Trade and Manufacturing Minister Tim Ayres says Australia has “very significant energy reserves”. “We are the sunniest nation on earth with vast solar reserves and vast wind reserves as well,” he told Sky News Australia. “We are in a position – if we get the energy reforms right – to be a renewable energy superpower. “It means lower prices for households and business in Australia – making energy a competitive advantage – but also that we should be in a position to be exporting energy right around the world. “That’s the future for Australia.” But yet we are hell bent on staying in the dark ages and too scared to leave the cave . It's a big world outside of the cave, fear can cripple the same way hope is paralysing. Sticks and stones while the world has drones. My energy bill going up $20 since Labor were elected doesn't feel too super. 'So-and-so says...blah blah blah.'. Is this the standard template for a tweet?
