The Albanese Government does nothing to help the cost-of-living crisis afflicting families.

Yesterday it rebuffed an opportunity to join the UK and US in developing a civil nuclear power industry.

The Australian reports:

“Overnight in Baku at the COP29 summit the British government announced that the Australian government was ‘expected’ to join its UK and US ‘allies’ in signing an agreement to speed up the development of civilian nuclear energy and decarbonise industry from March next year.”

For anyone concerned about emissions and national security, this should have been a no brainer.

Albanese and his hapless “energy” minister Chris Bowen would rather keep rolling out useless windmills and solar panels.

Bowen’s office scrambled to nuke the idea of Australia joining its allies, putting this out:

“Australia is not signing this agreement as we do not have a nuclear energy industry. Nuclear power is outlawed in Australia.”

Seriously?

Your electricity bill rises with the rollout of every blade and panel.

A new report has found that Labor’s renewables-only grid will cost at least $642 billion, not $122bn as claimed.

The Page Research Centre’s CEO, Gerard Holland, has calculated that the cost of the “energy transition” will be $95,000 per Australian.

Sadly, the Coalition is not much better.

They kept the taxpayer subsidised windmill and solar roll-out going in nine years of government.

Last week they confirmed they would stay in the cost-of-living-hiking Paris climate agreement.

While Trump gets out of Paris so he can bring down the cost of everything through his policy to “drill baby drill”, Coalition Environment Spokesman Jonathon Duniam committed to staying with the globalist cool kids.

The only difference between Labor and Liberal is the pace of our economic decline.
