“These interventions last year were absolutely vital as the regulator, herself, has made clear this morning,” Mr Bowen said during a media conference on Wednesday.
“In the absence of intervention, these sorts of increases would have had potentially a five in front of it, not a two in front of it. “These increases of 50 per cent that the government was looking at last year would have crippled many businesses and been a crushing blow to Australian families.
What bullshit!! Bowen is creating a lot of problems for winter and for the future, with the ALP going with their Socialist agenda, it's all to evident now..it's very obvious, and they continue to lie to the gullible Australian voter. Which is centralised in all city centres now!
No it would not have been much higher do the sums
Message for bowen… get your hand off it!!
Puffel piffel paffel poofle. Blackhole bowen.
Is this clown serious ? Whoever voted him in has a lot to answer for. Unbelievable.
Absolute 🤡
Yeah right….. has Bowen ever run anything successfully No ….
Absolute rubbish what happed to the plan to reduce power prices and other cost of living impacts. You have nothing.
We should have the cheapest electricity on planet earth. It's a GIANT SCAM
Pinocchio! 🤨
These are big manipulators, do you trust what he says? They give you $2 and take back $4 back from you. Unfortunately many fall for these cheap tactics.
Socialists, always running out of your money...
Such add odd statement, I know it's shit but trust me what I did made it less shit.
The Australian people will pay more for energy because there is no more cheap energy, nor is it intended to be any of that, the 'renewable' energy is like fools Gold, for a while it looks like the real thing, but you must be a fool to think it actually is!
Meanwhile China and India are building new coal-fired power stations galore. At least they're using clean green Australian coal.
Clown
Biggest newspeak ALP politician in living history.
Crap! .. you have let privately owned companies run rough house over your constituents! You are a complete failure as a government!!
Banker with a W .
Why do I not feel the need to prostrate myself?
Bowen continues his attempt to sell the unsellable!! He doesn’t seem to mind that he looks like an incompetent fool every time he opens his mouth🤔
loser, give up on your climate change Fibs. Let me educate you, climate change is a natural occurrence & you are not God.
What a load of shit the prices are higher because of labor!
😂😂😂
The PRICES WOULD BE MUCH MUCH LOWER if Politicians actually worked for the people & country like they r supposed too! We have all these enormous prices because of your decisions. Industries, fuel, ports & now GW Indigenous policies will make us a 3rd world country owned by whom?
Liar.
Is he for real
This intervention was simply economic juggling. It had nothing to do with making more power available and thus genuinely cheaper.
🤥🤥🤥🤥
Oh what a load of rubbish 🗑 🙄
A thought they promised lower energy prices & $275? I'm waiting for both.
Alp only got into gov by default of greens & ind, you are trash and liars with only looking after yourselves, unions & wasting $$ o/s with no regard for the Aust ppl
Energy prices would be far lower if we got rid of all these no nothing leaches sucking us dry, destroyi g what worked all to feed the one world agenda
Impossible and sadly blatantly untrue.
Prove it? Bow down
Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen says energy prices would have been much higher 🤣😂😂🤣🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
It gets funnier every time he lies!!! Denies the simple fact that nuclear is cheaper!!!
What about the $275 saving that was touted before the election more than 90 times by Albanese?
Silence is a coward's hide. Death up 40% in 14-49yo mandated workers and children. division to distract, from crimes committed. murderous crimes committed. no man is above the law, especially Bill Epstein Gates covert eugenic DEpopulation Agenda pedo-loving AustralianLabor…
Try and tell that to Australians. This is just nonsense
What a liar 🙄
No, you are confused. They were a,lot cheaper before you introduced your very exoensive unworkable green policies. They have made many rich though through taxpayers subsidies.
The government cause high price by the law than putting in.
What a lier!
What’s with the look on his face, like is he trying to cover up stupid 🤪

Just build more coal fired plants or go nuclear for heaven sake.
Everything is WORSE under LABOR
You all lie worse than any criminal I arrested. But then again, your actions are more criminal than most I arrested. Fucking ALP = Communist stooges
Not if we had stuck with coal
What a lot of BS I say to Chris.
and the vax'ed, sudden death'ed dead would be more dead if they had refused the vax
What a clown. Renewables will make electricity cheaper. Using more renewables than ever and the price goes up, they add more solar and wind turbines and the price goes up again. If we do the correct math renewables aren't making prices come down, the opposite.
Garbage. The guy is a 🤡
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 If we didn't have Chris Bowen there wouldn't have been any increases in energy costs in the first place. This tool caused all these issues in the first place with his renewable nonsense
Rubbish!
What a bozo.
He is full of it.
Haven’t seen my $275 yet , where is it you liars
Bowen is sooo full of sht Doo dahh doo dahh
Either way building some new power stations years ago would have been cheaper, reliable. But our govt are too focussed on following WEF orders.
Happening in UK as well - we have nuclear power, lots of North Sea oil & gas (plus shale gas & coal, that’s not allowed here - but ok to burn in China/Germany/Eastern Europe 🤬) & have some of the highest energy prices in Europe… It’s all being done on purpose - WEF 🤷🏻♂️
This guy has no clue & wants to import thousands of Chinese spy cars built by child slaves
You’ve got to be kidding 😡
🤣
Probably the worst minister to ever sit on labor’s front bench. A closet communist in the extreme.
Lies
We’ve never had such high energy prices, renewables we’re supposed to offer us cheap energy. One could be forgiven for thinking that governments lied, yet again
We are using more renewable’s than any time in Australia’s history and yet our energy prices are the highest they have ever been and getting higher. So when dose it start to get cheaper? Or is that just another lie?
How stupid do you think we are you muppet?
Bowen doesn't know his head from his ass. Wait a minute; neither does anyone else !!! 🥴
Bowenchris says 'it could be worse'. No Chrisso, it couldn't be. Auspol2023
Bowenchris is a ClimateChangeZealot ClimateClown & perpetual weekly winner of AustralianLabor LaborVillageIdiot award. Thanks SmugPrissyChrissy for LaborLIES & LaborBrokenPromises for increasing energy prices due to LaborIdeologyOverPolicy but it could have been worse!
Haha you are a dead set 🤣 🍆head
Farrrrrk off Bowen ! You clearly failed maths at school mate 🤦♀️
We did we do to deserve such a switched on energy minister.
Pffffffffffffft!
He is dreaming 😴 What a Clown 🤡
But wait, there will be more energy price rises. It’s just this one is lower than the next price hike.
Yeah sure 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Nothing but a 💩 show our politicians are.
And the really shocking part is that Blackout Bowen believes what he is saying. God help us.
AlboMP promised 97 times that he would bring power bills down by $275... just another broken promise.
Yeaaah!!!!you're right 😐🙄
BOWEN THE CULTIST CLIMATE CHANGE CREEP IS THE EPITOME OF A BRAIN WASHED KOOLADE DRINKING SCUZZBUCKET....
And we all know Chris is a
Why can CEOs get $11m bonus… ffs it is disgusting… so pissed off..auspol
Isn't it convenient that governments throw around claims of outcomes that can't be proven or measured. Just once it'd be a breath of fresh air for these liars to keep a promise and be able to demonstrate outcomes with real, indisputable data.
Yeah right - what a bloody liar, Albanese has abandoned every day Australians for noisy minorities and overseas photo opportunities
How can we be better off when you’re demolishing our cheap coal fuel power stations and taking our gas?
Been chatting to the pixies again Chris the one's that ride unicorns. Geez you're a deadset clown.
Lol.... 'would have' don't you love pollies making unsubstantiated claims
He should be wearing big shoes and a red nose :clown
you can’t be serious Bowen! you need help for your acid addiction!
😂
Bowenchris 🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Liar
Funny how albo said power prices would be cheaper under a LABOR government or was that SALVOR government
LOL! LOL! LOL! The same logic as determining if I had not pressed the nuclear option you would not have glowing grass.
Just Remember AngusTaylorMP
Clown 🤡
Bowenchris
Right....
He is a total utter 🤡
Wind and solar keeps making our bill cheaper hey Chris.
Bull dust, you under-performing gallah!
Absolute nonsense. The caps were not on retail cost. We need to increase supply. That way prices will genuinely decrease
What a saviour he is
they'd have been a lot cheaper if Govmnt told the Fuel Retailers Association they must pass the reductions in crude to the consumer..fuel price effects everything...they only ever pass on the increase..😞 price ratcheting n gouging...corporate thieves looting the whole nation
Where is my $275?
Walnut face
🤣😅😅🤣 This guy is a Tosser he is a liar just like Albo. Labor voter's thought Scomo was a lair lol he has nothing on Albo who has bill shortonbrains as hid right hand man that had rape allegations against him. Where is her 3 million Albo.?
This is the 20% increase that cayman Angus tried to hide.
This is what we were told in 1989.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh F**K Off Bowen you F**Kweasel!!
🙄
Energy prices will continue to rise while the ALP chase the ponzi renewables dream and fuel the climate alarmists with false data and BS. Seems funny how prices go up as fossil fuels are taken off line or are hit with significant price increases on ore etc
This grub will ruin this country
How does a wanker like Bowen even get endorsed by the ALP. There is a hole in the bottom of the barrel
And he is right
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a load of old bollocks 😂😂😂😂
Did Chris talk Biden into releasing the US strategic oil reserves to keep the price of fuel down? 😂
Bring on nuclear energy this will be cheaper in the long term .. we’re now getting nuclear submarines why not nuclear power?🤷🏻♀️
He lives in lala land.
ALP not in power 1 year yet! Prices around the world sky high & dealing with a legacy left by LNP. Almost all cost of living rises due to events in 2021 & early 2022. Let’s judge in 2025!
what a bunch of liars
Keep dreaming Bozo, at least you believe yourself…
And I've got a Bridge in Brooklyn to sell you Australia... interested?
Totally believes, completely credible.
Lower prices is not Govt Caps that deter investment but competition and abundant supply Being purely union trained and delivered, you have no idea of Business or supply & demand So far you haven't been successful in any portfolio Resign and save us further pain and suffering
And we're sitting on some of the world's biggest resources and exporting them to countries that burn them with reckless abandon.... Whilst we get stuck with high cost green energy.
Nothing more I'd like than to rip the voice box out of this peodaphile
The mechanism that LNP put in place that Labor had to be dragged kicking and screaming to use. That mechanism
Oh ........ 🤡🤡🤡
Does Bowen really believe this rubbish? Or is he outright lying to us? To put it another way, is he as thick as two bricks or as honest as Pinocchio or both?
We'll never know. Keep your hypothetical. What we do know is that despite the pandemic, and it's glaringly true that it only got worse under you. If your only response is that 'it could have been worse' then you are clearly and unapologetically useless.
And don’t speak to me about nuclear. Do and speak as I say!
I'd keep telling myself that to.
Chris Bowren, That’s not helpful. You are. pi’s…ing in the wind. What we need is sensible discussion . You use this sort of language to avoid dealing with substantial substance. Stop treating us like fools.
Yeah right
lol, sure sure, we love rising prices and cost of living.
This morning news said NSW,SA,QLD were increasing electricity rates & I thought Vic wasn’t included. That’s because their increase was a huge 30%. It’s going to be a cold winter😡
Chris thinks we should be grateful we're getting a 23% increase.
and they will be a lot higher if we don't kick out Labour making it a One Term Government - and by the way they are not Labor But are Green Fascists making them the Enemy of Australians
What a fat head drongo I'll just bend over so you can Roger Moore
He must the only Climate Change minister in the world that thinks reducing energy costs also reduces climate change!
Getting a bit tired of this effete argument on Climate Change I think its a specious debate A 'WHAT IF' QUESTION FOLKS what if we were to rid of all peodophiles globally instead of the 3000 FARMERS IN HOLLAND? Compare their 'flatulence' to the moo cows ... any PHD doing this?
Lies Lies lies that's how Labor ride ..tossers
Sack this knob now. The most incompetent minister in Australia’s history.
Mr. Bowen, your comments are nothing more than political spin. The Albanese government intervention in energy prices is just another example of their failed policies. It's time for a change in leadership that prioritizes economic growth and innovation over government interference
😂😂😂😂😂😂. Just pushed a bit of wee out …..
What a great load of CRAP When LABOR come into FEDERAL GOVT they promised a REDUCTION in power prices. NOT A MASSIVE INCREASE. LABOR GOVT HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO MANAGE FINANCE.
What a sorry excuse. ‘But prices would have been higher” if we had not ; - committed to cut emissions by 43% - put a cap on Gas & Coal prices , thereby putting supply at risk - refused to put money behind fossil fuels despite having insufficient base load power What nonsense!
Liar
What Nonsense Royal Commission into Climate Nonsense NO NO NO I am free and we need accountability To stealing my human rights
You peanut
That’s BS
Thanks Chris I am looking forward to being bloody COLD this winter instead of Fucking COLD!
Isn’t that why we elect politicians?
Easy for politicians such as this knob to talk when they’re on a mint. Between interest rates, inflation and energy hikes it’s a wonder how anyone can live.
Huuhhhh?
Absolute bullsh1t Bowenchris so sick of hearing your single sided one policy BS.
Of course he would say that, reality is, if it weren't for him & his mercenary Teal supporters, prices wouldn't be going up in the first place, think of the costs to remove all these turbines when the WEF partner funds behind the whole sorry charade are exposed ,
I see the resemblance , amazing
Isn't NetZero bloody government intervention to finance the artificially 'cheap' solar-wind dud tech? All incremental costs are transfers to the dud 'Green Tech'. Stick it where the sun don't shine at night mate. The Spin damage-control verbiage continues.
FYI: HawkerBritton writes the press release scripts and talking points for the ALP sockpuppets to mouth off. 'Underplaying or would be the greater evil'. That's the gimmick spin-doctors are using this time.
Village idiot speaks
This must Guy must love the sound and smell of his own bull💩💩💩💩
NETZERO BaseLoadPower is the goal. The rest is tripe to feed the news cycle. Net Zero is driving shortages and price inflation IT IS GOVT POLICY. The point behind 'Carbon Hate' narrative. Nuke the economy at its foundation, Energy Generation.
I was finding it very difficult to believe anything this 🤡 says but this statement just confirms what fools he thinks Australians are
The Liberals and Nationals voted against the Government to regulate price controls. Their Minister in the previous Government Angus Taylor knew about the power rises but kept them a secret until after the election so that they can blame the present Government for the rises.
Voted class clown 🤡
We have 1200 years of coal in the ground, along with a third of the world's uranium. We should have the cheapest electricity in the world. Why can our new submarines be nuclear powered but our domestic power grid can't? We are governed by 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Wait!! I thought this was the same bloke only a few months ago going on about renewables. Suddenly they may have realised we need nuclear energy to run our submarines. Oh dear what a stuff up!!
Did you Fact Check this claim before you blindly posted your brown nosing post?
Bowen...some wise words from a chook!
If the power industry is expecting 30% increases in power charges there needs to be a lot of firing of their executives, board members CFOs and CEOs.
🤡🌏
government intervention (meddling) always increases prices. Free market ftw
True!
True. The mess the other mob left should mean they stay in the wilderness for many years.
If Aramco makes 200+B profit from oil. Australia can make the same from GAS and we can still have cheap energy 🤷♂️
Not really the point when one of the 'promises' he was elected on was that you wouldn't pay more for energy under a labor government, is it.....?
Ahhh the 70’s & 80’s, the days of cheap abundant power… Wonder what’s changed, that’s right fossil fuels. Apparently it’s ok to dig it up and sell to other countries, but not use here….
$275?
I think Bowen lives in Lalaland
Wow I feel so much better now.
That's no comfort
'You will die, but under a Labor government at least you will go to heaven'
Running gaslighting rubbish
Provide details, otherwise just more hot-air.
What a load of 💩, everyone is worse off because of you Labor 🤡
🤣🤣🤣 whatever.
Completely unacceptable excuse Where's our $275.00 power reduction
🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂
That is total bullshit. Things are worse under our use labor government. Who promised to reduce our power bills before the election. Soon we will have blackouts to go with our skyrocketing power bills.
Lol rubbish where is our saving you have no idea and your plan will drive costs up further
snake tongue
Muppet
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So no $250 savings.
Just a coincidence this sort of thing happens each time a labor government gets in. More coincidences I guess. We seem to have a lot of those lately
lol auspol
What an evil man
And if my Auntie had balls she would be my Uncle
How can they possibly be any higher?
Can someone explain why electricity prices are rising as solar and wind power expand whilst fossil fuel prices have decreased the last 6 months? Well done Chris Bowen
Load of RUBBISH as usual
CLOWN 🤡
What a joke
Another broken promise! It isn’t easy under Albanese!!!! Australians can’t claim they weren’t warned…..
Fullofshiticus
What is this guy smoking? 🤡🤡
it is true? energy bills factchecks
$275 REDUCTION was the promise
😂😂😂
We're worse off, but we could have been much worse off? Sounds a bit like someone being dead, but they could have been more dead.
BS!!!
he takes us for fools , dont understand how anyone voted for them
Gee thanks Chris you create an environment for price rises then say it would be much worse if not for me. Save the spin
Australia price of electricity is 0.210 U.S. Dollar per kWh for households and 0.228 U.S. Dollar for businesses, Saudi Arabia: 0.048 U.S. Dollar per kWh for households and 0.068 U.S, Russia 0.063 U.S. Dollar per kWh for households and 0.091 U.S.
Rubbish!!🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
They are much higher because of AlboMP
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfao
True.
Wan☆er
What a fxcking liar 🤡
It is perhaps true. Our state powers are much more radical about removing cheap coal power stations and importing expensive Chinese solar batteries. Yet to portray the Albanese government as a savior of an ordinary consumer is extremely hypocritical.
Liar
Well Well if you go by what your little friend Greta has been running around pushing thru your MSM outlets its all-mis information and you're doing exactly what she is doing the same f-ing thing, that tweet was from 5yrs ago so WTF, its time now according to her tweet
100% right the libs screwed us like the do every time there in power!
Woulda , coulda , shoulda ? Na - Broken promise🤡
Prove it and itemise it. The strong climate change advocates are not truth tellers - they are opinion mongerers masquerading as truthtellers. Once Christianity was seen as unassailable - that is not the case now!!
Least his pinnochio nose will keep him semi upright when he falls flat on his face... utter 🤡
These labour liars promised cheaper power by $275 on 2022 rates. Those rates before the election, they’ve got no clue on how to deliver these outrageous lies they told the Australian public
Lies
Lol. Sure thing pug-man.
If only AustralianLabor had a plan before the election.......
He would say that
Lol. Does anyone believe this rubbish?
Prove it Pinocchio
Bullshit
Had the dolt done nothing but keep power stations operational we would bepaying 50% less. laborcrimes
Crap. Bowen is dopey.
Minister of f NWO propaganda
And if the Albanese Govt. and you had not lied so often, we the people would have an extra $275, but, we haven't because labor tells lies!
Bowen Jesus u can spin shit. But what else u expect from the Labor party’s
He is wrong.
Australia is heading into an energy crisis. Thousands of households are already unable to pay their bills. Another rise of 24% is devastating.
So we've gone from an election promise of 275 dollars better off on energy prices to 'but prices would've been higher if we didn't win' so be grateful...quite delusional, even for Captain Climate
stop lying
How? Can he explain why?
Hahaha… BS
🤣😄🤣 You Idot Bowen 🤷♂️
The climate alarmists are creating world 🌍 famine. These A holes are on borrowed time, the people are waking up to their plan. The smart ones will get the F out now or face the people’s judicial system.
Hahaha we knew those exact words would be used as the excuse. No, our electricity prices have never been this high, not until Chris Bowen and company decided to push the Climate Emergency bull dust. Its their fault plain and simple.
Why would you not believe him? 🤡
Bullshit. The tide is turning on this arseclown. People are starting to see through the climate scam.
What complete and utter tripe....Where's my $275?
Yer, $275 dearer
When and where.
Get real Chris Bowen . You actually have done very little for Australian since in government only 9 months, except add to financial pain, businesses going to the wall and unemployment on the rise. You have no policies that help, we have heard lie after lie no action
CRAP !!!!!!
You liar
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Meanwhile you’re wasting billions on wind and solar
So instead of a 40 percent increase on my power bill it will only be 20 percent, thanks Mr Bowen 🤡🤡🤡
SO?
Bowenomics is 'trickle down' poverty. If you don't like it, you'll have to live with it because you voted for us. Sucked in.
🤡
Bills would have been lower if you didnt sell off our damn resources for a $1. Those perks must be awseome. Yes we see how rich our public servants are. our poverty forces us to call it out. WE KNOW WHAT YOUR UP TO.
A Labor Band-Aid for a NZE heart attack!
