Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australians could have had higher electricity bills if his government didn’t act last year to pass emergency legislation.

Last week the Australian Energy Regulator revealed its draft default market offer decision for the upcoming 2023/2024 financial year.

Parliament was recalled before Christmas to pass emergency legislation to lower energy prices through a $125 per tonne cap on coal – to be imposed by Queensland and New South Wales – and a $12 a gigajoule limit on gas for 18 months.

And we could have had even cheaper if continuous rubbish government didn’t sell off our assets.

What happens when banks collapse in Australia as they are around the world right now including America? What will the Government do then as hyperinflation events takes place? bankbailins BankRuns Bankcollapse SVBCollapse bankofEngland

It's high time government control prices of electricity,gas n council rates,so as to decrease the cost of living to counter inflation. They also need to provide cheap alternative for expensive goods n calibrate economy .

Share electricity from your rooftop panels and keep prices down. Do most jobs using electricity in the daytime when maximum solar production. Big cook ups in the daylight

Cheap, abundant electricity is the bedrock of our civilization. It's days are numbered in this country as is our standard of living.

All his so called expensive“Green energy “ and other cash splashing is driving inflation and interest rates up . Suddenly closing down cheap coal energy is causing a economic crisis that Labour,Greens and Teals expect you to suffer while they jet around

UselessPM AlboMP please STOP speaking 🤡🤡🤡

Albo being Albo. What a dickhead.

😂😂😂this tosser is a comedian

Implementing Communist policies will always end in richer few and poorer many. Higher prices for everything and lower income courtesy of higher taxes. Always, so this is no exception.

He sucks plain and simple if we could kick him out right now we would!

Albo is a supermarket sale. Increase prices by 400% then give 10% off and people think it's a bargain. How stupid does he think we are. It amazes me that his supporters are actually falling for it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don’t manipulate and fool people. He is talking like losers.

I think he’s been chatting with Bidens PR team.

If over the last 10 years the corrupt coalition government had actually implemented an electricity policy, Australia would have much lower electricity and other bills. The coalition fckd it. I grabbed solar.. and in credit massively 😂. auspol

The intervention was counterproductive. Ideology and politics should not dictate the economic realities.

You acted because the electors saw your deceit

And everyone hung —— on Scott Morrison.

What A FW DH he is

No one is fooled Albo

We arent going to thank you for doing your job Albo !!

Ahhhh...using the Biden model

Bullshit!!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah surely you complete flogs jest.

BS

FUBAR PM

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 clownworld

Ha ha, he even believes that!

This guy and his team are total losers. This is the biggest mistake the Australian electorate has made for a while. Our sovereignty, our national economy, our social cohesion and our security in the world are perilously threatened as a result of Labor policies by these clowns. 🐍

Buy back the farm ... K.I.S.S. ITS DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY AND SME'S!!! Bowenchris AlboMP TurnbullMalcolm

Hes a hero in disguise 🥸 then? more like a 🤡

O bullsh...t

GST on power bills should be scrapped

Has ALBO ever told the TRUTH . FKN LIAR.

AlboMP seriously, just stop with the BS. Your promises was to reduce power costs by $275.

Base load of shit

If the price comes down we will be stuck with a cap forever. Once you can lock in a high price, l see where your going with it.

Aramco can make 200B profit from oil. Australia can't make any profits from GAS.

What a liar

Prove it Albo. Put you money where your mouth is. Show us how.

The $368 billion public money could have been used to help ordinary Australians with the cost of living crisis An utterly useless empty peformative PM

Still not addressing the real reason !! Neither side does

Don’t worry they will still get higher

FUD from FUDD!

🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

He’s full of crap. There was never a chance of lower bills under a socialist government. They don’t know where money comes from so they have no compulsion to stop throwing it away, thereby terrifying business and industry and increasing costs across the board.

Nobody believes that. His government did everything in its power to drive up energy prices.

Electricity was never a problem until Labor interfered with it and then made the Tax payer pay for the interference and now claims that labor’s policy kept prices down. ASK THE ENERGY COMMISSIONER.

Always blaming the other party. You Promised cheaper power and have broken your Promise! Stop the jet setting and actually do something for struggling Aussies without raising taxes!

Total BS, he was told that if he enacts the legislation that produces would sell more gas offshore and that would lead to shortages in domestic supply. You honestly can’t make up the shit that this useless Labor government is doing.

Who is he kidding? Since these clowns came on board our lives as we knew it was fuc***

What a joke this goose is

We already have higher electricity costs due to this clown , I am surprised he still has a job , laborsux laborlies

You & the ALP are to blame. Can't wait till Blowout Bowen screws normal Aussies to the wall with his wind & solar nonsense. Worst Aust Government ever!

Bull💩

Albo promised a REDUCTION in the cost of electricity. Not a reduced increase. Still waiting...

Meaning we will get even higher prices next year.

Remember $275 Cheaper Energy Prices!

Liddell Power Station SHUTS DOWN soon with the blowing up of the Chimney Stacks 👎! It could be kept operational for longer if Albanese stepped in. He won't though! His FANATICAL IDEOLOGY comes 1st as with getting INTOXICATED Sculling FREE Beer on the Taxpayers' credit card 💳!

Aaaaaaahhhhh Bulllshit! Bless me!

You are nothing more than a Nazi traitor Albanese, you a disgrace to the Labour Party, and the people of Australia..!

Ok we (The Australian Citizens) are so feed up to the back teeth with the 2 Major Parties being so ineffective, incompetent and exponents of BS, that we will keep voting in Independents to disrupt and hold these bozo’s to account 👍✅👍✅ We live in a Country full of resources🤷‍♂️

Things were looking bad but now their less bad. WorstPMEver Albo CostOfLivingCrisis

They are higher numbnuts

albo

He a liar

We all pay for it in Taxes in the end anyway, it's just, 'kicking the can down the road', they don't have a secret stash of cash that they can keep giving to us ! 🤔

Albo is a LIAR

He was no doubt aware prior to the election electricity prices would escalate under labor, but unfairly promised Australian families $275 annually on their energy bills by 2025. Another bare face lie.

No point trying to push wages up when businesses can’t afford their power.

Albanese is a liar liar pants on fire. He has done nothing on cost of living, he just continually goes overseas and gives homey to other countries to stroke his own ego.

energy cartels are breaking Australian laws as it is illegal for businesses to agree to act together in a cartel instead of competing...Albo needs to act now!

Print this I DARE you

Liar,does he ever stop lying.

Keep spinning the shit Albo you’re good at it. It’s the only good thing you’re at you flog

Print this I DARE you

Lol. Could have had higher, is certainly not cheaper! We should be an energy superpower, with our access to coal and gas and potentially nuclear energy. Australians should have the cheapest energy in the world!

😂 😂

What a rubbish argument . He promised everything would be cheaper and now he is being exposed

China is building more coal fire plants and Queensland and Australia goverment are shutting them down. Yet Anna palachook and Queensland goverment are happy to sell coal. Hypocrites they don't care about qld or Australia

BULLSHIT

Prove that claim!!!

Lmfao

Anthony Albo is becoming a true replica of Bidens administration. Lie lie lie.....SSS!!!

'Could' have🤔

Thank you for those foolish Australians who continue to vote the 2 major parties in. This has to stop. It’s like thanking your abuser for abusing you.

What? Your Government has done NOTHING to control these energy companies. They simply exploit these recources that in the first instance belong to us all.

He said he'd lower electricity bills. Saying they would have been higher is evidence free rubbish.

Albanese is a serial liar

More lies from Albo

That’s not what the lying turd bucket said though. He said we would have a $275 discount but that never one should believe this lying little bogan ferret

How much better off would we be without you Albo, thanks for nothing

Rubbish

Think we need a recount of election votes!!!!

More BS both sides following the WEF agenda!

stop sanctions

Still waiting for the election promise $275 reduction

What planet is this woke clown on?

I couldn't get a higher electricity bill than my most recent one. Good to see how out of touch AlboMP is!

I don't believe him

AlboMP bahahahhahaha you are a joke you promised reductions and are telling lies about that mr 32% are you back from your contiki tour on our dime

Is this an early April fool's joke!?

He also said we would be $250 better off with him

Who actually believes this

I call bulls***!

I don't believe that is how it works. The spot price is capped, but the general price has increased such that the overall revenue to the energy companies is the same or even more to cover their own increase in costs. As the number of companies is small, this covers the field.

Domestic reserve replicating Western Australia is the only way to prevent gouging.

And I’m assuming the price of water will go down if NSW sells Sydney Water to foreign investors? I think not 🤬

🤣🤣🤣 Good thing for AlboMP there are a lot of guilable people in Australia

What a load of rubbish. Labor has simply not kept its promises. Saying ‘it could be worse’ for us is Albo actually saying ‘I hope this does not go further down the tubes’ while knowing it will.

BOLLOCKS

Even if it is true, saying it is bad but we stopped it being worse is not a win. It is their job to fix it, just like they promised.

What rubbish. Our power bills would be a lot more manageable and continuity of power more guaranteed if you got your head out of your arse and stayed with coal fired power stations until you finally agreed to go Nuclear. Your renewable plan is the problem.

No one believes the media or what our 'leaders'... we know that our bills are higher as we are paying more, more for food, energy, more for rent/ mortgages watch the small business crumble soon as people stop discretionary spending. they've already hurt enough from c19 lockdown

This joke of a PM needs to realise that we Australians are not as pathetically stupid as he thinks we are. Go back to pride marching and playing Topgun while star struck at the Old Trout (I mean US president) !!

Everything is more expensive under this cretin

Lol

Government never helps. It passes legislation to cover previous legislation. They make failures and then make more.

This is a joke. Albo has made our energy crisis worse. Albo is delusional if he thinks he's made things better. That gas cap was one huge mistake. Where is our $275 saving we are still waiting for it.

NWGLP He’s laughing at you plebs who voted him in.

And the market operator agreed

Good it will end up being a big dead albatross around his beak

Now that is funny. Only in clownworld could you say that trashing an efficient low cost electricity supply based on coal and replacing it at phenomenal cost with unreliable, expensive, not renewables will lower power prices!

i had to interfere with the market as my policies created runaway electricity prices. so your bill is only 30% higher instead of 60%. the illusionary savings are temporary and picked up by hidden taxation.

If the LNP was still in government the costs would of been double to what they are now

How lucky we are.

Remember the words I will lower power yet he now crows gee your lucky it's only gone up by 40% fuck we are lucky people

All part of a bigger agenda. Agenda 21 30 to be perfectly clear.

Albo like the bird who flew around in decreasing circles until it flew up its own orifice.

They are selling off our water next watch it go up.

ALBO to much hanging around the natives living in “ Dream time ‘ HAS no idea about what DAMAGE his circus DONE to ordinary people.,it’s more EXPENSIVE since labour took office and WILL get more ,

Oh we've got higher energy bills, don't you worry. All he did was delay the inevitable. So instead of a 30% and then 50% rise, he's guraunteed us a 20% rise and then a 70% rise.

Absolutely 🐂💩

Labor: Cratering Australia's economy and impoverishing Australians with its crazy green energy schemes. And our impact on world temps?,....

Bullshit Albo

Is he taking the piss - by the way has he picked up the shovel to plant trees to offset his carbon footprint or ordering another 🍻

Tosser, he actually thinks people believe him.

Buyers remorse.

Tgats so he can sleep of night

Hahaha thanks Albo! 👌

What utter bullshit

Albo is a liar

What a load of crap. Australians would be facing much lower costs if the government had passed a law making 30% of all gas extracted to be sold in the Domestic Market. You know AUSTRALIAN gas available to AUSTRALIANS. This is what happens when we get a right wing Labor party.

What happened to his 'plan'?
