“I’m not ruling anything in or out. When it comes to energy security, you can’t rule anything out, you’ve got to be open-minded right across the board.

Rewind to 2021 the Morrison gov delayed a key electricity pricing update until after the election, which left Australian voters in the dark over upcoming changes to their electricity bills. Wholesale prices had more than doubled in the year to March 2022 & increased further since

Best plan to stay in opposition. Well done.
NSW lnp will be in opposition come March
Energy/mining companies bypassed Taylor when he was minister to work directly with the states. They are paying a lot more attention to Bowen who has ruffled their feathered nest.

Greens fighting for Labor to entirely subsidise electric transitionThe Albanese Government agreed with the Greens to create a 'significant package' for the electrification of households and businesses but leader Adam Bandt has revealed he wants the cost of transition to be fully subsidised by the Commonwealth. Adam Bandt arguably has the most influence on what Australia looks like in the coming years and there isn't anyone to hold him accountable, which is a frightening reality IMHO if GREENS AND ALBO unite in ANYTHING Aussies better PRAY. Albo has NO CLUE what Bandt's agenda is, NOR FROM WHERE/WHOM THE MONEY materialises. Yeah so when the switch off electricity … you can’t even cook. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ anyone supporting this has lost their plot.

Greens push for windfall tax on coal and gas companiesGreens Leader Adam Bandt speaks about his party’s demands for a windfall tax on coal and gas companies, as well as the Greens' position on the government’s price caps. “We want to see more money in people’s pockets, we want to see these coal and gas corporations paying more tax,” he said during a media conference on Tuesday. “And we want to see the government step in to help people replace their expensive-to-run appliances with cheaper, cleaner ones so that power bills stay down for a very long time.” When these companies desert Australia then what? How do we pay for anything? More tax is not the answer contrary to what the left enjoy spruiking Their Demands have caused price hikes across the board, worldwide! Socialist/Marxist ideas haven't worked in the past and they will not work now. In theory, it looks good, in practice, it doesn't work out.
