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.
Australians facing a $300 hike to their electricity bill will be asking Chris Bowen: where is the $275 cut to my bill that you promised? Climate Change and Energy Minister Bowen today announced that next year the Labor Government would be delivering “a reformed pricing mechanism”. A “reformed pricing mechanism” in a year’s time is…
The Albanese Labor Government ignored, dismissed or silenced Australians in regional communities who objected to offshore wind farms being built in their backyard. A Senate Committee report has highlighted the failure of Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen to consult and engage with communities in the Hunter (NSW), Illawarra (NSW), South West Victoria (VIC),…
The Leader of the Opposition, Sussan Ley, has asked me to serve as Shadow Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction.

The Albanese Labor Government has attempted to hide more immigration bad news from the Australian people by dumping it out on the Friday afternoon before Christmas. The 2024 Population Statement published today confirms that 109,500 migrants in two years have extended their stay in Australia when they were expected to leave under Labor. Labor has…
Labor has once again been forced to raise their migration target because of their Big Australia policy. In today’s MYEFO, Labor has raised their Net Overseas Migration (NOM) forecast by 80,000 migrants, to 340,000 up from 260,000. The increased immigration forecast is now at odds with the Prime Minister’s own commitment that his Labor Government…
