‘Hypocrisy’: Sky News host slams Bowen’s ‘renewables zealotry’ after private jet controversy

Sky News host Chris Kenny has slammed Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen for taking a separate private jet from the Prime Minister to attend the same event in the Hunter Valley. Revealed by radio host Ben Fordham, two Dassault Falcon 7X Jets were photographed at Scone airport on Thursday ahead of an announcement in the Hunter Valley. Mr Bowen claimed the small regional airport at Scone could not take the Prime Minister's large RAAF plane. Mr Kenny compared the Labor MP’s “hypocrisy” with climate change activist and actor Leonardo Di Caprio. “You've sent our power prices skyrocketing because of your renewables energy zealotry, you have thrown grants and subsidies to every renewables grifter on the planet, you're taxing our petrol for every dollar you possibly can,” he said. “You're making our petrol and diesel cars and utes more expensive, you're trying to force us into electric cars. “Soon you'll have us eating nothing but weeds and grasshoppers and you reckon you're okay to flit about the place dispensing your words of wisdom from a taxpayer-funded, avgas-guzzling VIP jet.”
