Shadow Ministry

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.
