Power bills will rise this winter under the Australian Energy Regulator’s draft determination to the nation’s electricity price safety net.
“This is affecting the entire east coast, and this is unacceptable from a government that promised a reduction in power prices of $275,” Ms Hume said.“I fear for those older Australians or those on low incomes that will simply have to turn off the heater during winter because they can’t afford the energy bills – that’s the human cost to Labor’s failure to manage the energy market.”
I don't think Labor cares to be honest. They are just ensuring their pockets are lined with perks before the government is toppled which can't come soon enough in my opinion.
If LNP & specifically HOWARD hadn’t GIVEN our gas away for free with NO clauses to ensure Australia’s priority supply…. OR sold govt utilities to PRIVATE CORPIRATIONS… We wouldn’t have any problems at all…. DUH!!
The very first paragraph on the Labor policy webpage (says quite clearly that they will 'CUT POWER BILLS'. So.....can we now face reality that voting for Albo was just a protest vote to get Scomo out. Labor are a total financial disaster.
From the LNP that deliberately made the decision to withhold the latest report telling the Power $ was to increase and by a large %age amount too. THIS just another eg. of LNP manipulating US to support them, support LNP, to hurt US AGAIN, & to blame ALP.
Must be kicked out
Just keep putting the bills up so we are all dependent on the government, than we can go to war. History repeating itself.
This is the fault of the fraudulent lying lnp especially angus 😡😡😡😡get your facts rite
You destroyed our country that's why the price rise.. didn't think of our country or Future.. Global Warming is a fast ..from the start
C'mon Sky News, you know that lying is Labor's normal way of conducting daily business. After all, telling us 97 times that we were going to have cheaper power bills by $275 has got to be true. Hasn't it? Who will believe him about anything ever again
Ummmmm, it's in the retailers' terms and conditions to rise July and August. It's the War price rise that needs to be explained by retailers not Labor. And the debt people are going to be into retailers.
Would have been higher had Albo not capped prices. Silly Liberals for privatizing power and gas.
Jane conveniently forgets to mention that LNP energy Minister Angus Taylor deliberately & blatantly withheld the significant prices rises that were coming prior to the last election so the voters wouldn’t punish the LNP government that she was part of even more for their failures
But we bought expensive subs that will no doubt never be delivered so it’s ok then.
Easy, vote the dirt bags out.
Totally cool for the former mob to bury the report that prices were going to sky rocket until after the election but? Like it was going to save em well plus the boat people mass txting. 🫠
Unacceptable when he is wasting our money on submarines
What a joke these price rises They are privately owned company's making millions now for share holders So why the increase A JOKE
The ALP promised a reduction in power prices in 2025 as a result of the transition to renewables. The current price rises are mostly ss a result of external factors such as the war in Ukraine. If there is no reduction in 2025 then you can hold the ALP to account.
Power was always ridiculously expensive in Australia like everything else. Because of priyelizinh everything under the sun. Bad corrupt administrators mostly liberal.
Jane who
I find the 1TRILLION $ debt the Liberals left Australia is unacceptable. Could have paid for the submarines 3 to 4 times over.
Where's my $550 from Abbott.
👇
Meanwhile, the NSW liberals are planning to sell off Sydney Water starting with giving a build and manage contract to a Chinese consortium for Kemps Creek waste treatment facility. Quietly of course. What will that do for bills. Brought to U by the party who are tough on China
Sleazy Albanese
'... because they are the cheapest form of energy, as our market operator says, by a country mile, and more renewable energy means that energy prices are lower than they otherwise would be. ...' - Chris Bowen Sschuuuuure Jan!
Exactly when are we getting a reduction in our electricity bills that you promised.
Life isn't easy under Anthony Albanese
Ha ha.. the same Jane Hume whose party hid a report on power price increases before the election? Power bills would be $275 cheaper by 2025.. that's what Albos promised.. do tell me again what year it is...
Still waiting for Jane Hume to explain why Angus Taylor covered up impending price rises in power just prior to the election, and what exactly is the LNP's policy on reducing power prices besides criticism of Labor. A decade of inaction takes a while to fix Jane !!
Albo is a flog, more interested in rainbows, apartheid and submarines than helping ordinary Ozzie’s pay their bills or find a place to live.
Has Hume apologised to Monique Ryan yet?
everyone send your electricity Bill's to Parliament house and get AlboMP to pay them
Go ask Angus.
Hume forgets her role in the energy crisis
SenatorHume what IS unacceptable is that the LiberalAus promised a reduction in electricity prices for 9 years. It. Never. Happened.
Taylor Made
Albanese is a liar!
Who is Jane Hume? Was she part of a government that hid data revealing prices were coming?
And if the LNP were in government, it would be a sight worse.
Sky news is a lying cheap con!
It was the LNP in NSW that leased out the power grid for 99 years! It was won by a CHINESE COMPANY based in Hong Kong!
‘price rise in Australians’ power bills expected in July is “unacceptable”. Time for the energy regulator to step up and do their job. If not, nationalise the energy companies.
According to who. 🤦♂️ it was going to be In excess of 40% and that why the previous government hid the details.
Said who?
This is Angus's hidden 20% increase.
Is it 2025
You should see the prices in the north!! Only one provider.. outrageous prices before this propaganda war! !!
Jane Hume lol
SA is often completely reliant on renewable energy! Wonder if the sun and wind have been privatised , or just got more expensive to shine or blow?🤔😳🤪
Liberals are talking shit! Labor and liberals sold everything for a short financial gain. They no longer have control unless they buy it all back and with what? We are locked into international pricing with a dollar worth shit all!
Cue the unhinged responses from leftists, excited to have their power costs dramatically increased 🤣
This after LNP hid the true position re energy costs before the election
i want my coal back
It’s unacceptable and was a total lie to start with. Broken promises. Australians are over these lies.
Gov intervention last Nov have kept increases lower..without would have been 50% plus !!!
Power bills have been reduced..without Fed Giv intervention in Nov..increases would have been 50% n more
Would have been twice as much under the village I....ots.
From the previous government that hid a price rise in energy from the Australian public
“Jane Hume” 🤡🤡🤡
Jane who?
Wasn't deregulating the energy market a brilliant idea? Actually, no.
Watch the ALP defence-bots spring into action, ignoring the fact that Albosleazey PROMISED.
How can power prices do anything but go up? The CSIRO said that the cost in transmission lines, renewables etc would be a trillion dollars. 1,000 billion dollars that is end power users will be the ones who pay for it. As a first world country our goose is cooked.
And it would be cheaper under the libs? They postponed the increase last year till after the election on purpose
its time to go on a national strike on this gouging
Cue the taxpayer funded govt troll accounts
I call bullshit The Liberal Party did all they could to hide the true extent of the problem they created and it's a right bloody mess auspol
Labor has been in power for 10 months and we are still reeling from 9 years of incompetence and corruption and massive power price rises from the worst money managers on the planet called the LNP. They were intent on increasing the inequality gap to absurd levels.
You (sky)and your friend Jane can go and get .
Your going to be looking for a new job once smartmatic and dominion finish with Rupert 1.6 billion and 2.7 billion reckon it will bust his piggy bank in fact he might start sueing you lot for telling lies.
Facts don't lie
We are all still waiting for that $500 bucks a year from Tony Flintstone
Albo doesn’t have time for anything else when there’s cameras and frequent flier miles to be had
Hey Jane, They're contending with your mistakes
Hang on Albo....are you the dog or are you the tail? auspol
Hume & her mates gave us a gas led recovery, no energy policies & a sycophantic obsession with coal when the market was done with it. Want to know who is at fault then pull upon those threads.
Murdoch mouthpiece ! Useless information !
The shadow finance minister says something the current govt is doing is unacceptable... what a scoop!
the electricity price rises, it hurts businesses as well as consumers, adds to inflation and stifles growth. All this from self inflicted wounds following the ridiculous 'Net Zero' ideology.
One more time for the dummies auspol
The LNP left this legacy A TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT auspol
Murdoch BS
Australia you reap what you sow, and you elected albo and labor
Jane Hume burrrrrrrp slurs what?
Keep blaming the other guys
Nothing about AngusTaylorMP hiding the expected power price rises before the election?
So libs push up power prices and then blame Labor. Hilarious
Yeah why are you not talking about Robodept with the LNP and the dept they've accumulated while In Govt for 9 years!
He is too busy chasing glamour abroad 🛫 at taxpayer's expense, won't give a hoot to your trivial utilities bills 😴😆
Shadow minister knows she is lying. At no time did Albanese promise prises would go down
nationalise the lot and lower the prices
what the hell did you think would happen
Jane Hume is unacceptable!
I thought the government had given a commitment to reduce prices in 2025?
How Desperate to be quoting That Lightweight!
They did that on purpose!
I am really taken with this wilful lie you promote around the government having any significant price control over a largely privatised industry... All the while privatisation is one of the tools capitalism uses to destroy democracy...
Reduction in electricity prices from 2025 is the policy. Get it right, Sky, stop your perpetual lying.
Did calamity Jane apologise to Senator Ryan? MurdochGutterMedia
If the country wasn't being run by corrupt bureaucrats pushing the climate change hoax then maybe we would be allowed to use our own plentiful and cheap energy.
Not to worry - Bowenchris says it's really the oppositions fault ...
Liar, liar!!!
More lies from a lying machine.
Jane the mouth of non relevance,just likes bullying other members go back to your dungeon.
Hold up, this isn’t about “Australians’ power bills”, it effects SOME of the eastern states, everyone else is unaffected. Another reminder why Sky promoting the PM for Sydney lost the rest of Australia.
Airbus Albo too busy flying around the world than to care about domestic issues 🤦🏼♂️
I dont see why ours will increase in the NT. Its not privatized. In fact even though we are being forced to privatize by consecutive Liberal Governments, we still enjoy a lot of that Gough Whitlam Socialist public property that the rest of Australia has been looted of.
Gaslighting LNPCrimeFamily LNPCorruptionParty LNPNeverAgain
Lol yeah this commodity prices look crazy height. This is a scam
Angus hid the report that stated prices were going to go up. It's not the Gov driving up prices, it's greed and profiteering by Energy providers. I mean fk... 40c a litre difference between servo's this morning.. a km apart.
9 years of failed L&NP policy to deliver cheaper energy was 'unacceptable' which is why it got booted out of govt.
MurdochDogShitCo 🖕
Will you, the media, ask why they were hiding relevant information just before the May 22 election? Then you can morally claim high standards. That's what journalists do.
The LNP promised reduction in energy prices for a decade and all we got was Angus Taylor’s big stick policy which amounted to Angus hiding the increase prior the election. .
massive immigration + closing our cheapest energy generators = massive price increase how is this a surprise to anyone?
I’m interested to hear about SenatorHume energy policy. I must’ve missed it in all the excitement!
Stop hypothesising and start reporting. What might happen is not news.
Why are people in the street about the cost of living. We're mugs.
goes to show u elon rogers trudeau because i said the same remark about trudeau and got banned.
'I fear for those older Australians or those on low incomes that will simply have to turn off the heater during winter because they can’t afford the energy bills'. Absolute LIE from SenatorHume. NOBODY in the LNP cares about older and/or low income Australians!
Albo Bowen have no idea and just lie !!
On AngusTaylorMP s watch
This from a woman whose party hid power rises during the election.. really !
Wind and solar cannot replace coal and gas in cost and providing power. The billions being spent on wind and solar is just wasted money. Better to go nuclear.
Fk idiot
Woke non sustainable and non reliant power sources (wind/solar) will never replace reliable and clean (nuclear) energy. They were lying and bills would and will not reduce unless we focus on nuclear.
Those who have the best promises win🤷♂️
Labor promised cuts but everything going up can . Labor can never tell the truth and are not capable of handling anything.
It wasn’t a core promise.
