Simple problem fixed at next year's election.

Wow, I see the LNP tooth pick policy is finally working; $28 isn't even 2 day's of power for the average family.

Imagine what could be achieved if they actually believed in this and had a policy!!!!

Some people are naive and gullible. Power prices will quadruple if the renewable energy madness continues If “big” savings will occur why are taxpayers paying billions in subsidies to lower the Global temperature? As rain ☔️ falls heavily and it’s cool in Melbourne.

big deal What a xmas windfall? thanks for nothing Power prices went up 50% in d last 3yrs $28 is chook feed

$28 dollars a year to help the environment, not much to ask

Wow $28 a year. I can turn on my life support system again.

$28 per year - five cups of coffee. Big effing deal!

$28 you are kidding me doesn't even buy takeaway for a family for one night of the year. It wouldn't get me a years subscription to the AGE.

Whoopee! That will upset the owners from asia? Must translate to roundabout a .9 per cent discount ha ha

Makes a mockery of the LNP ‘big stick’ approach to reducing power prices. Just shows they haven’t a clue.

Drop $28 per annum, increase $3,578 pa.

Cool I can buy a can of coke

Renewables are dropping while taxpayer subsidies go up.

Great I can buy an extra 6pack?

How do we plucking these figures out of the air? We are repeatedly til poeeer Bill are going to cut x amount by this policy or y amount by something else. The only reality is that power continues to cost more

Energy ministers to talk power pricesEnergy Minister Angus Taylor will meet with state and territory counterparts to talk about lowering electricity prices and ensuring more reliable power. Why?

Energy ministers agree to electricity retailer reform | Sky News AustraliaState energy ministers have agreed to a deal to inject more reliable power into Australia’s energy mix following a COAG meeting with Angus Taylor on Wednesday. \n\nThe Retailer Reliability Obligation will require energy companies to provide a certain amount of reliable, dispatchable power, but they won’t have to meet any emissions obligations. \n\nThe lack of emission obligation has angered the New South Wales Energy Minister Don Harwin who labelled the government’s lack of inaction in the area as ‘extraordinary’. \n\nBut the Federal Energy Minister told Sky News the government does not need an emission reduction obligation as Australia is already on track to meet its targets. \n\n\n\n\n

Immediate cut to 'outrageous' power bills from January 1 after political pressureAGL, Origin and Energy Australia and other retailers are reducing their standing offers for longtime customers. $200 annually. That’s nice. Now if only my annual power bill hadn’t gone up by more than that I’d be in front. But I’m not and I won’t be. Neither will many others be in front. Great, any help with household expenses is always appreciated. Buy lego.
