Peter Dutton’s Plan For Cutting Energy Prices! – » The Australian Independent Media Network

It’s been a good week for Peter Dutton because – now that the Albanese government has announced something on energy prices – Dutton knows what it is that he’s against. For the past few weeks, he’s been reluctant to express a view on the subject in case it turns out that Labor have ruled it out and he’ll be left agreeing with them.

So what’s the big plan that the Liberals have on energy prices?

Well, from what I can work out it seems that their plan is not to cap prices and to encourage a gas-led recovery from Covid and that will mean that we’ve all got plenty of gas and…

Oh wait, that was Mr Morrison’s plan that he didn’t implement because he can’t do everything.

Let’s see… The plan now seems to be to take the restrictions off nuclear energy and in about ten years or so, we should have plenty of cheap nuclear power with a reactor in every home.

Mm, that doesn’t seem to fix the price of my next gas or electricity bill. No, I don’t think the Liberals are on a winner there, even if they’re on a winner with nice guy Pete.

The only thing that confuses me is that Dutton was so unpopular within his own party that they elected Morrison rather than let him become PM.

I guess they just didn’t know him well enough!

Dutton’s dire warning on power prices as renewables race tightens

The truth of the matter being, the Morrison Government requested a report of their own pre-election, which was buried because it showed that their own strategies were in fact exacerbating the price rises that were inevitably about to and have now come about. Yet Peter Dutton is avoiding that inconvenient truth and is now attempting to put the blame on the ALP’s short 4-5 months in office. The real issue is which media is reporting Dutton’s continued misuse of the truth rather than questioning and revealing it?

Dutton doesn’t mention the biggest investors in renewables were in fact were the subsidised Fossil Fuel Industry who wanted to control the pace of the transition ensuring their investment still made the biggest buck for their dollar and at the same time get a boost from the LNP while doing it. They learned their lessons well from the Tobacco companies who today argue that they are the biggest drivers of the global “Quit Smoking” campaigns and not governments. All smoke and mirrors when one looks closely. and we the people are paying.

Fossil fuel investors are now even suing governments for profits lost under restrictive trade practices enabled by agreements signed just as big tobacco did.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton delivered an ominous warning that Australians may have to choose between “heating” and “eating” next year, as he seeks to tie the government’s renewables plan to rising bills.
