Energy regulators report shows Victorian power bills up 16 per cent | Sky News Australia

A report from energy regulators has shown Victorian power bills are up 16 per cent in the last financial year, with a 21 per cent jump in number of disconnections, with 60,737 people experiencing power outages.

NSW Senate candidate for One Nation Mark Latham says if the left were serious about bringing emissions down with ‘security and affordability’, then nuclear would be in the equation. Mr Latham says current power policy in Australia is one whereby nuclear is banned, coal-fired power is ‘being strangled out of the system’ and renewables ‘win’ by default.

Shows what a joke Mark Latham is. He knows that nuclear is at least 20 years away in Australia, comes with massive pollution problems & is more expensive than coal which is more expensive than renewables..but he's a part of the One Nation scam & its loony ClimateChange denial.

RealMarkLatham This is a real solution

PaulineHansonOz Is that steam I see?

.MeMediawatch RT Forgotten Dangers - Fukushima_Radiation_Spikes To 'Unimaginable' levels! NO nuclear in the equation! AlanJones realDonaldTrump RealMarkLatham LyleShelton TonyAbbottMHR auspol Australia theboltreport Read more at

That's a great idea. NOT

thanks to the lunatic greens

PaulineHansonOz True

It's not about emissions and climate change it's about redistributed wealth.

PaulineHansonOz Bring it on. Its not like we don't have a desert or two to bury tve waste in

PaulineHansonOz He’s the NSW upper house candidate, not the Senate candidate.

I think you’ll find Switzerland being the bastion of renewable energy have some of the biggest hydro power stations but still buy 50+% of their power from France. Surprise surprise it’s nuclear.

Nations that build nuclear & hydro decarbonise their electricity supply. Nations that build wind & solar do not. Anywhere. Ever. Wind & solar are not just bad solutions, they are non-solutions.

MRobertsQLD Awesome bring it on .

Nuclear is the only answer that makes sense. This used with hydro answers all of the questions.

We got our nuclear reactor and it for medicine and research. Not even If waste half life was half your political career.

I hate him, but he has a point

ScottMorrisonMP completely ruled out Nuclear again.

Thank you Mark. We need to have this discussion. We have the fuel. We have the capability to build world class plant. We have the best trades people in the world. Let's get it done.

1) Mark wants to rocket power bills higher? 2) Will Mark live next to one? 3) Will mark live next to a waste site?
