Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says it is “totally absurd” that power prices for Australians are going to continue to get worse in the future.
Mr Canavan joined Sky News host Paul Murray to discuss the latest with power prices and the government’s continued push towards renewables.
“It’s a cash merry-go-round now energy system,” he said.
“The only problem is, of course, unlike the merry-go-round at the local fair, this ride’s not free; you’ve got to pay for it.
“You’re paying for it in your power bills every quarter.”

We have abundant natural gas, yet we sell the majority of it overseas for peanuts so the government can piss the profits up against the wall after yet another piss-up in the taxpayer funded parliament bar.

    • Some of us did try to warn others ... but we were laughed at. Neo liberal economics (unbridled capitalism) sounded great to most people after our governments had deliberately run once profitable services into the ground. They began ripping us off immediately after government sold these services off to the private industry. The illusion of choice didn't cut the mustard compared to the reality of rising costs. The worst part of it is (especially in QLD) we have to pay unaffordable energy costs for this "green rubbish" while our governments profit from selling our abundant natural gas to other nations for peanuts. "Sheeper Elecwisity" from Anthony Albanese transformed into an extra $250 bucks on my recent power bill. If it keeps rising it will be unaffordable to everyone but the uber wealthy. A nation without affordable energy is a dead nation.

But we must pursue treaty with our "protected people" at all cost and blindly forge ahead with unaffordable and inefficient renewables and this insane gender rubbish ..all because orders from on high (UN/WEF) tell our treasonous quisling political class to do so. No matter if there's a youth violent crime problem that's totally out of control and directly due to the ALP's go-softly ideological madness and the gutless ideological judiciary they install. No matter if tent cities are becoming normalised. No matter if people are unable to afford basic electricity and living costs or even a roof above their heads.. "I'm alright Jack" is the politicians mating call.

  • EVs are not suitable for every country. It is more suitable for country like China where electricity is much cheaper than Australia. In China off peak electricity per kwh is only 4 cents Euro and peak electricity per kwh is 7 cents Euro. A typical charge will only cost EV owner 2.50 Euro and give 400 kms range. Also EV maker in China will install one charge point free for customer when they buy a new car. The money saved every 3 years by EV comparing to fuel car is price of a brand new EV. That is why young customers in China like to buy EVs instead of fuel car.

  • If you think renewables are the answer then consider.. The NSW State Government has announced their intention to spend millions of dollars in taxpayer money to extend the life of the Eraring Coal Plant for up to another 4 years The decision involves providing Taxpayer subsidies to Origin Energy’s Eraring power station for up to 2 years with permits to run for two more as needed The subsidy would be aimed at capping the price of coal and also extend to other aspects of the plant’s operations including an expansion of its coal-ash dams. It comes as a report from Electricity Supply and Reliability Check Up NSW cannot retain a reliable power system without Eraring remaining open The most recent AEMO report that there are reliability risks with Eraring exiting early. Eraring is located in Lake Macquarie, 40km south of Newcastle, and was officially opened in 1984. It contains an overall generating capacity of 2,922 MW, making it Australia’s largest power station. So much for the Renewables Hype
