The federal treasurer has warned there is no quick solution to Australia's spiralling energy prices, following warnings gas supplies could be cut amid a wave of polar winter temperatures.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers said it was a "perfect storm" of factors contributing to another cost of living escalation."It is important to recognise that there is not kind of one measure that can fix this overnight," Chalmers told Today. "The more immediate options will obviously be part of a discussion with the companies and with the relevant ministers as well and I don't really want to pre-empt those discussions," he said.
Polar blast? 🙄 it’s fucking WINTER to the normal people in this country! 🖕🏻
There’s all these wind turbines on the hill, but they aren’t moving. Apparently the wind drops of just before it snows. How is it after all this time, weather is still a mystery to some people?
We are the dumbest country on the planet. Gas and timber are two of our largest natural resources. During covid we had a timber shortage because we send our timber O/S and buy our supply in from other countries. ATM a builder is going broke every week. Now the same with gas 🤬
How's that labor/green policy going now ?
When you shut down power stations, what do you expect would happen?
