Energy and Emissions and Reduction
Energy is critical to Australia’s prosperity. Australia needs an energy plan that is focused on scientific endeavour, technology and innovation in all areas of energy production. My job will be to work with my colleagues to develop that plan. As the Shadow Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction, I will hold the Labor Minister Chris Bowen to account. Labor promised a $275 reduction in household power bills by 2025. It is as clear as day that Minister Bowen has failed to deliver on that promise. Instead, the Australian Energy Regulator has confirmed Australian households are paying up to $1,300 more for their electricity than promised — a damming indictment on Minister Bowen. Labor has also undermined Australia’s domestic gas industry, which has seen household gas prices increase by 34% since Labor was elected. This is hurting households, manufacturers and small business and adding to the nation’s cost-of-living crisis.

In a Sky…
Under the Albanese Labor government, a record 547,300 migrants arrived in Australia in 2023, according to ABS data published today. No government has ever brought as many migrants to Australia in a single year. As Australians struggle with finding a place to live, with congestion on our roads, and with pressure on services like seeing…
The key question for Australians is do you trust this hopeless and hapless Immigration Minister, Andrew Giles, to keep you safe? Giles has announced a new Ministerial Direction 110 that he claims would correct the flaws in his original direction, yet it still keeps ties to Australia as a primary consideration. If elected, a Coalition…
