Labor has been under fire over the commitment amid Tuesday's federal budget confirming energy prices will rise by an average of 20 per cent later this year and a further 30 per cent in 2023, adding further pain to struggling households.
"Yesterday the Treasurer finally confirmed that the Labor Party misled the Australian people 97 times before the last election on their promise to reduce power bills by $275 when he admitted it wasn't in the budget after saying it was," Ms Ley asked in Parliament on Thursday. "Yesterday I spoke about the deal that was done with the Tasmanian government and what they have to say, what the Victorian government have to say as well, and I spoke about what the New South Wales Premier had to say.Power prices are going to rise by 56% â when just weeks ago Anthony Albanese told you they would go down by $275.October 25, 2022
"Yesterday we had Jim Chalmers apologising to a journalist for apparently mishearing a question at the Press Club, about the $275 decrease in your power bills," she told Sky News Australia's First Edition host Peter Stefanovic.
Yep, you voted for him Australia, this clown is a bigger bull artist than Kevin07
Ask for an apology from your mate Putin instead.
Get your act together son.
And it's a perfectly reasonable response: 'So if you care about cheap energy and reliable energy, then you're looking at wind, solar and pumped hydro...'
I don't remember ScottMorrisonMP apologising for not providing savings of $800 for our power bills 🤔
Peter Dutton was asked why pre-election the LNP hid crucial information re: energy price rises and tried to blame Labor, so there you go.
No idea
Airbus will need another tax payer funded holiday so he can recover. Too much pressure to admit he lied 97 times.
Good job Angus. Well done!
How is 'Back in black' going? Still telling pork pies about that now. Didn't happen though did it.
by 2025 it will be worth only $150 or less saved
Can we get an apology from AngusTaylorMP for not following up on THIS
Good on him ... whilst the LNP whinge about $275 (over a year) Labor is getting on with dealing with one of the worst economic scenarios in decades ... the LNP have lost the plot!
Power subsidised in WA with a *cough* *cough* Labor govt. Pretty happy with that eh...
Murdoch Party can be confident that the Murdoch media will always repeat their lines
Albo is a complete flog, I'm weally pwoud of ouw budget we cant weduce powew to Austwalians we need to fill ouw pockets fiwst sowwy I can't speak pwopewly I have a speech impediment, he is no better than scomo yet thinks he is and blames him for everything.
You need to tell the full truth.
👇
And you call yourself “news”. Read more, ffs 🙄
It’s a clear broken promise, plain and simple. Labor would do better just to own up to it, but that’s something they seem incapable of doing!
When will Morrison, & L&NP who chose him as PM, apologise for the contemptuous way he treated Australians with his five secret ministries.
Nothing to see here.
Good on you Anthony
So there's absolutely ZERO truth to the claims accusing the LNP of concealing this inevitable price hike until after the election? I don't know, based on track record, the LNP are known liars.

The promise was to lower the price by 2025. How about you report why the price is so high now?
😂😂😂😂
When do we get one for a trillion debt?
Gullible Aussies voted this inept Government into power. Now suffer!

Still waiting for tony abbotts cuts
I understand where the confusion came from they said $275 cut by mistake, they actually meant $275 increase.
Another lie from Elbow. Renewables are far more expensive than coal or gas. Otherwise China or India wouldn’t be building 100’s of coal fired power plants.
Albo will apologise when the god damn libs are imprisoned for all the rorts and grifts that they engaged in while they were in office for 9 years.
