“If the Liberal Party had their way, these increases would have been 50 per cent, not 20 per

cent,” Mr Bowen said on Wednesday.“They walked into the parliament and voted for even higher price rises.

Rubbish!

BULLSHIT.

More labor lies

Clown 🤡

Fruitcake but dangerous. BowenChrisMP won’t stop until there’s is no power

Chris why are you jeapardising our energy sovereignty?

So what happened to my 275 reduction completely incompetent. Albos photo ops off shore are just another distraction to the real problems.

The government's policies are the reason why they are so high.

And we’re supposed to feel thankful for that?😂😂😂

The green scam project is the problem. Start looking at the real data, and release it to the public. Solar/wind/ev won't achieve anything, just making it more expensive. All green plants require Co2, they instead give us the oxygen we require.

They have locked in our exports of coal & gas for many years to come, which seem to be OK for other countries to use while our prices just go up and up. They are bloody hypocrites

Bowen. Always blaming the past instead of doing his job. He’s a 🤡

This guy has no idea what he is doing. Believing in climate for a start shows he isn't the smartest tool in the shed. Climate change that's funny. Greta deleted this from her account. 🤣🤣😆😆

Liar liar liar - done nothing but claiming everything

Now labor says twice, but the end is their terms, I would say triple is possible. If we don’t sack the labor government

Hahaha we are bad that they might be worse. Yep that calms everyone down

I think he wishes he was twice as high.

This bloke is full of 💩

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bullshit

And they'd no doubt give themselves a payrise to more than cover the increases they mandated

Easy to say. Where’s the information?

shoebil57672266 Bullshit

Keep blaming, we are stupid and we will listen to you. First we need to be blamed for getting you into power 'Walnut face'

Why don't they remove the GST from electricity, it's more essential than tampons. The higher the price goes the more money the government gets.

Bowen is a global warming zealot who will drive the bus over the cliff despite stop signs. Remember this guy was Kevin Rudds mini-me. He had presided over multiple disasters as treasurer and immigration minister. People ought to research his resume it’s a train wreck.

BS

What happened to the $250 cheaper per year. Chris Bowen is a liar

While this may be correct, that is maybe, what he isn't saying is the cost of the cap plus what ramifications there will be once the cap is lifted.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Looking around the internet, I couldn't find any evidence provide of Angus Taylor hiding anything. I will just consider the BS until I get proof.

Energy would be half the price if the government didn't shut down our most reliable source of energy well before renewables are anywhere near the efficient

Horseshit Bowen😡

BULLSHIT

we should perhaps ask Paul Keating for an opinion on this dud ...

Wholesale electrikery has been 4c/kwhr for decades - the only thing that changed is climate cult wankers like you came along

And they would be dramatically lower if the national government imposed what WA has. Mandated gas reserves and serious price caps.

Hey Chris...$275 Another Labor lie and more excuses from probably the worst Labor politician on record.

BS

Did u see him smiling as he announced Labour’s electricity prices BLAME them 100%

Blackout Bowen isn't fooling anyone.

But your labor party mates said that you would like give two hundred and fifty dollars to us where is it more running gaslighting lying 🤥 never trust labor party NSW Chris Minns hangs around Anthony Albanese Labor party stop voting for Labor party NSW

How does this fool keep getting elected? Is everyone in his electorate on drugs?

Yeah sure

Be twice as less if you lot butt out and puss off

You a clown Chrisbowen

He’s like those English salesman at the market selling faulty products. Makes us think we’re getting a bargain when they increase the energy prices. 🤡🤡

But they were going to come down by $275. Or was that just a lie.

At long last the truth. The government has delivered that $250 energy saving, so Sussan Ley can at last get off the bandwagon and sleep peacefully at night.

Making stuff up

You should all be thanking me…Electricity prices set to surge up to 30 per cent as regulators reveal draft pricing plans.

Mine have increased 29% and i received notification as of the 1st of july they will increase a further 20 %. So what little LABOR is doing is not working........

He has no honor, got into government on his lie about cheaper electricity. How can he look Australians in the face who are struggling with cost of living and come out with that, just simply dishonest, a liar!

Is that like health funds?

It's been quite a while since we had to listen to Labors ridiculously pathetic excuses for their ineptitude, incompetence, and hypocrisy It's good to see that nothing has changed since the last time were in charge

The Cabinet Clown. His excuses for the increase in costs are childlike

I call bullsh1t Bowenchris

Just like the drum beating that China was going to invade aust over the last few weeks, amazing we have a nuclear sub solution. Power? We have a nuclear power plant solution as well. Wait it will drop within a few weeks

Really? Coal and gas are below Putins invasion date so stop the bullshit Bowen

It’s time for Chris to answer 1 question How much $$$ has he or family and friends have invested in renewables

There's a reason this bloke is referred to as the master of disaster 🤝

If we had coal power electricity it would be half of what it is

BULLSHIT. LIAR BOWEN

🤡🤡🤡🤡🥱🥱🥱👎👎👎

Yeah they eould be cheaper too if they invested in Coal and Gas...

Bullshit

ooh, liar, liar pants on fire. even a dead bob hawke wouldn’t fall that hoary old chestnut!

Dont worry labour will make electricity 300%+ more expensive and blackouts all year round. They will give excuses why green Energy projects delay and their cost goes up. Time to buy some candles! 🙄👍🦘🇦🇺

Let the submarines heat up Australia, after all they run on nuclear power 🔋 and if anyone complaining about not enough money for food, start eating submarines 😉

Hilarious. And they would be half if he stopped demonizing coal and gas.

SPIN TECHNIQUES USED: BLAME EVADE UNDERPLAY Lesser of Two Evils Too easy... that's the go with the press cycle damage-control. More fun, once the March figures are out, repeat.

BOW-OUT BOWEN now! Dodge and Evade spin-doctoring ensures by 'The Fall-Guy Bowen'. Bow-out Bowen, have some dignity, don't be a sucker for the cash like in the Migration Ministry period.

Flog

dai_le please evict this tosser

What a crock You cant even tell the public what renewables going to cost . I dont think he knows .

Bullshit

Calling bullshit

And they'd be half the price if not for the government in the first place

Heah DH, when can we expect the $275 reduction in our power bills?

Akin to his comment on not being able to stop the boats

BS Bowen off with the fairies again

😂😂😂🤡

Rubbish Bowen, do your homework

I'm so glad I am not relying on these clowns for my electricity.

Proof please. I saw a pink elephant this morning. See, we can all just make sh*t up.

Of course they would Chris. We all belive you. Just like you promised not to touch superannuation LaborLies Auspol

So 368billion on Subs, but no Cost of Living assistance. Where is the Moral fibre?

Bowen wouldn’t have a clue All hot air coming from his mouth

Commie 101 create the problem look like the fix. Weak men create hard times and this group have made times really bad.

Nah Bowenchris you knew you were lying when you promised a $275 reduction. Now you’ve been exposed as the liar you are BrokenPromises YouCantTrustLabor

this man thinks we are all fools

Where’s the evidence to support this assertion or is it like all governments simply a case of blame the other side. All I need to worry about is what I am paying, not what I might have been, that’s what they need to work on.

Welcome to compound inflation.

People, please refer to Gretas post from 5yrs ago, Greta and Chris are pushing the same thing 'Climate Change', ask yourselves who is pushing mis information and then ask why factcheckers cancelled other scientists who tried to provide real information.

Where’s my $275.00?

Typical Bowen, just blame the previous gov’t

No, it's not true and you're inventing things to justify what the albanese government did to the Australian economy! Lol

You big numnut. Energy costs are rising because of the stalemate in building new base-load power infrastructure over the past 20 years. Both Libetals and Labor share responsibility, but mostly it’s Labor (and the Greens) who are responsible.

So you pay in your taxes to keep the price down. Why not cap everything? Muldoon tried it in NZ with spectacular failure.

Total 💩 u 🤡 Bowen. u are subsidized for renewables are through the roof - if ev and renewables so FANTASTIC let them stand on their own and watch prices fall - ur useless Gov is doing zip to bring down prices - total lies and contempt for the Albo-useless gov

Bs

Climate Change and Energy Minister is a woke Oxymoron

How does a country as rich in natural resources as Australia is end up having some of the highest power bills on the planet.

Bowen calls for compromise on Labor's climate policy, as final vote on the legislation loomsIf passed, the federal government's Safeguard Mechanism Bill will require the nation's 215 largest-polluting facilities to reduce their emissions by 4.9 per cent each year to 2030. 2022 Treasury forecast 2023-24 a 56% rise in energy costs and a 44 per cent gas price hike if Govt doesn’t change it’s way. Bowen has a reputation for being inflexible. Will it be him or Bandt who bends? Bowen has failed in every portfolio he ever held.

‘I was dead the day Bowen started’: ex-Snowy boss saysPaul Broad, in his first extended interview since leaving the high-profile job, said Labor’s energy transition plan time frame “beggars belief”. I don’t think Mr Broad has much to complain about. There is certainly a theme to which party made a number of his public service appointments. Also remember he was one of the most vocal critics of the NBN when labor was first pushing the plan (and he was a telco CEO).

Bowen defends need for future gas supply as Labor pushes GreensChris Bowen says gas will ‘increasingly’ dominate the 18 per cent of energy generation not covered by his 82 per cent renewables target in 2030. This bloke has been sold a pup buy the green public service, and is finding the truth a bitter pill to swallow. Like the treasurer, he will find there is a bus coming. That’s odd a few weeks ago he was telling us how terrible, outdated and dirty fossil fuels were. Too late mate…nobody will invest now in a socialist state.

Energy prices would have been ‘much higher without the intervention’ of the govtClimate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen says energy prices would have been much higher without the intervention of the Albanese government last year working with state governments. “These interventions last year were absolutely vital as the regulator, herself, has made clear this morning,” Mr Bowen said during a media conference on Wednesday. “In the absence of intervention, these sorts of increases would have had potentially a five in front of it, not a two in front of it. “These increases of 50 per cent that the government was looking at last year would have crippled many businesses and been a crushing blow to Australian families. “Hence we took the intervention we did last year.” A Labor Band-Aid for a NZE heart attack! Bills would have been lower if you didnt sell off our damn resources for a $1. Those perks must be awseome. Yes we see how rich our public servants are. our poverty forces us to call it out. WE KNOW WHAT YOUR UP TO.
