The Labor Party election promise of $275 cheaper energy prices is “as good as broken,” former Liberal senator Amanda Stoker says.

“There is a deliberate strategy that has been taken to reach an emissions reduction target

swiftly that has consequences for the price of energy,” Ms Stoker told Sky News host Paul Murray.

Todays inflation and electricity prices are more to do with past policies and world current affairs than anything labor has to answer for. At least you can see positive policies at work.

Sit down and shut the **** up, Senator Stoker!!! Never heard from you when you were in a position to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!

Well, as a liberal, she'd be an expert on broken promises.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 its a pitty you havent got your facts rite once again 😡😡😡😡

Until the next election it isn't a broken election promise good try but no

What?

can you change the broken record

'The budget forecasts for energy bills are so radically different from a year ago that the old RepuTex modelling cannot possibly produce the same number.'

Well, as we could pretty much work out for the past half a decade that power wasn't going down and the previous govt wasn't going to do anything about it, is it really a surprise. Not new. Just the same old political aligned clap trap.

The policy says by 2025.

Broken promises, but I bet you this is what will continue to happen under the Labor Socialist gevernment.

Labour has to now eat crow & put up with the energy mess they produced by not supporting on going base load coal power while taking on board neuclear powered base load power technology to replace coal. They got the cart before the horse.

Just another legacy from the LNP!

Dredging the bottom of the barrel to be quoting a former Senator in the LNP Government. Did you notice that when she wasn’t parachuted into a seat, but asked the people of Australia to vote for her that she failed to win enough votes? That’s how far down the barrel you have gone!

I think Australians are intelligent enough to understand why ... don't you. I would be happier if Labor focused on minimising the rise as opposed to $275 in this economic environment ... Sky news is a broken media outlet!

Amanda who?

Maybe it was a non-core promise...

It’s called green BS

Morrison government made a 2019 election promises of: - 25% DROP in power bills But instead produced: - 240% INCREASE in power bills.

you mean that nasty mean spirited ex senator who gives a fuck what that contributes to anything meaningful even her own party dumped her

Former. Can’t understand why really, she’s just so damned likeable

Who told Amanda? How is her new job going after being turfed by her own friends! Highly rated is Mandy!

Did you know most of us are still waiting for our $550 refund promised by the mad monk. Cry about that not a lousy $275, which may come anywhere upto 2024 as stated by the new govt.

Lol…..that was said by 2024. Last time I looked it’s only 2022.

So the 2025 saving, will really just be lowering a small portion of the 56% price increase we are currently facing.

Stoker! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Too much coal in the system:

'It will cut power bills for families & businesses by $275 a year for homes by 2025, compared to today.'

Who is surprised by this? It's Labor/Greens... They butter you up before an election, then when they get in, they do the opposite of what they said.

Please change your name, its not sky news but conservative news,

Did Mr 17% tell you to say that Amanda?

Oh please! ...... Of course a former Liberal senator is going to say that. (And of course Sky will publish it)

Did anyone ever believe the $275 reduction scam, I don’t believe Albo, Chalmers or anyone else in Labor ever believed the scam.

Did god tell her that ?

By 2025, let’s check back in two years😑

Former senator and well deserved.

Lying Bastards!!! Worse still it’s going up by 50%

MurdochGutterMedia

Anyone who who fell for the spin labour lies are now paying the price , could BE even worse than the hero of the present labour government remmber the disastrous Whitlam time , only just started what we WILL experience before being thrown out

IS IT 2025 more vomit from this pathetic band of liars ...

Remember when LiberalAus knew about this price rise but hid it from everyone? Or the promises LiberalAus made but NEVER delivered on, that MurdochGutterMedia helped sell? Hypocrites and liars. The lot of you. auspol

Amanda 'no one will elect me' Stoker's an expert on the energy market now is she? Hasn't she got an anti-abortion rally somewhere to attend?

Blah Blah Blah

get ratio'd

Time to ratio you SkyNews you cooked peices of 💩 LNP hid the report into electricity price increases due to inaction by the LNP Renewables are the CHEAPEST form of electricity. The Lieberals lied and the Nationals like mattjcan just wanted more $$ for his criminal mates

LNP lies still hanging on.

Did Stocker miss the relevance BY 2025, typical Loser Leftover ignorance

And where is my $550 Abbott promised for lower electricity prices?

Bit like her political career

HaHa all B.S big wind farm 15km north big solar far 8km south of town and not one of the residence get a cut in costs … .. even I they do do it they take it back by changing something

The ghost of yesteryears failures farts something, Yawn.

Where's the $550 Tony Abbott promised me?

Amanda who?

1. The government is benefiting from huge mining royalties. 2. Australians are paying ever increasing energy costs. 3. The government is using the mining royalties to fund their political agenda. 4. As such, the increasing energy costs placed on Australians are an Indirect Tax.

I'm still waiting for the $550 from Tony Abbott.

And the opinion of a failed, former, Liberal senator is somehow of value? Boy, do we have news for Sky News!

The planet is stuffed by fossil fuels. Stoker is joke, LNP had 9 years they removed the carbon tax to throw petrol on the fire.

Australian Labour Party asks “who’s Amanda Stoker”

We have until 31.12.2025 to find out whether or not Stiker is correct. Compare that to Abbott's broken promises that are actually 'FACT', and her opinion is, like her, insignificant.

More fluff, froth and fuckwittery 🥱

When HonTonyAbbott lied and broke promises over $550 household savings, you said nothing. This is headline worthy? newscorp is a joke.

Former Liberal senator ... has such a nice ring to it

Former Liberal senator, what happened voters called BS and hit the eject button?

Screw you where's HonTonyAbbott promised cuts credlin lied about.

A non-elected former senator provides no background or context to her complaint. You are not even electable unrepresentative swill.

if the LNP had released the energy market report before the election instead of delaying...

Failed politician dribbling crap!

Delusional! Delusional!🥳🥳

We’re still waiting for LNP and Abbott’s $550/year promise.

Like her political career?

And once again we have been lied to just to get elected !!

Still waiting for Sky's hero Tony Abbott's $550 energy price reduction.

We're still waiting for our $550 from Tony Abbott! At least Dr Jim and Bowenchris are reforming the energy sector in this country at long last

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Of course, this promise has been broken they were never going to come good on it simply a lie to gain votes at election time & we fell for it.

Imagine being in LNP room when they concocted the plan”let’s not tell that energy prices are going to rise 56% then if/when we lose the election we’ll blame it on the ALP”. “Mr Potato head that is genius”.

Stoker no credibility 1trilliondebtliberals

Why the hell would we care what she says?

Back in black🤣🤣🤣

Who asked that mean bint? Oh, only Murdoch ;ackeys.

Is she an expert on energy costs and the future actions of the Russian terrorists?

If only MORRISONS GOVERNMENT WAS HONEST OF THE RETAIL PRICE OF ELECTRICITY BEFORE THE ELECTION AND NOT AFTER THE ELECTION. JUST MORE LIES FROM MORRISON AND HIS BUNCH OF THIEVES

There's a reason that cold lifeless automaton is a 'former' Senator.

Nine years without any direction with energy policy but Labor hasn't fixed their mess in 5 months. Fucking hypocrisy, thrown out on their corrupt asses for good reason.

A former liberal senator being quoted by sky news is scraping the bottom of the barrel,Why is she an EX senator? Because her party was SACKED by the Australian voter

fuckmurdoch. Opinion masquerading as news. How repetitive… DooeyAF

And the LNP were so honest.

Not happy about energy prices today? Flash back to John Howard signing our gas away to China at rock bottom prices in 2002 - in a contract locked in for 25 years.

Amanda Stoker remind me who this loser is again. Or yes a LNP politician dumped by her own party. How frustrating must it be looking in from the side to consider they didn’t judge her to be of more value than the elected LNP rabble.

The Albanese government has scrapped the Coalition’s electricity underwriting scheme. Critics had warned could cost billions to prop up fossil fuels + would push up power prices.-The industry minister- Ed Husic, repealed a scheme of Angus Taylor's.

Still waiting for Tony Abbott's $250 reduction in energy costs.!! Why did the scandal ridden AngusTaylorMP hide the facts that he was given about the massive rise that was about to occur in 'POWER PRICES?' He went to an election & deceived us...

This blokes $500 dollar cheque must be still in the mail.

'former Liberal senator Amanda Stoker says' 😂😂😂😂 What do her white supremacist mates have to say? Endless negative stories about Labor shows Sky as nothing but propaganda.

1. They never said energy prices would drop next year. It was by 2025. 2. LNP deliberately amended regulations to hide electricity price rise prior to the election. 3. War in Ukraine continues, changing the world's markets. 4. LNP failure to transition to renewables.

So what are you suggesting as a quick fix now?.

Read the fucking policy you clowns

I received $250 from the state Labor party

says former senator from party who isn't in power, who's lack of policy caused this.

This is how we can fix the energy price.

They promised this by 2025. I think they may have just a bit more time left yet, don't you?

There won't be any reduction in energy costs until we start producing more.

Who gives a fuck

FORMER LIBERAL SENATOR - FOR A GOOD REASON!!

bullshitting sky. knew the electricity price rise was being suppressed till after the election .

The LNP and SkyinthePieNews are broken.

'Labor have broken their promise for cheaper electricity ... in 2024' 'We are now Back in Black ... next year' I sense a pattern

According to a Liberal 😂

Is that amanda stoker or 'mandy jane' talking Just want to know for integrity sake Something that the lieberals have very little understanding of

Or a more realistic news article.

Amanda darling your former for a fukin reason !!!!

like when was it ever going to happen

By 2025. Do keep up.

Former unelected Amana Stoker? 🤣🤣🤣

Well if Casper the Ghost says so

Still waiting for my $550 per year from Tony Abbott when he axed the carbon tax.

In 2025 $275 is going to be worth $2.75 under this Government.

You lot aren’t real good at reading the fine print, are you.

By 2025. Say it after me. By 2025.

We are not interested in formers. Do try harder. Why not get Scott to quote, at least he is still in Parl and can give you six different perspectives?

The calendar doesn’t read 2025 yet 🙄🤣
