Labor accused of not being upfront about its policies amid early election speculation

Sky News host Peta Credlin has accused the Albanese government of not being upfront about its climate crusade “vanity project”. It comes as speculation has been mounting in recent weeks that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese could send Australians back to the polls before Easter instead of waiting until May 2025. Ms Credlin claimed Mr Albanese is likely to call an early election and he would try to “bury” the Labor Party’s new climate targets. “He has to bury these new climate targets, he has to bury the decade of deficits in his upcoming March budget and he has to get to the polls before the energy and climate wars are turbocharged by the incoming President Donald Trump,” Ms Credlin said. “That’s why the Prime Minister wants an election before he can’t avoid the truth about what Labor’s policies are doing to your power prices, and what harm they will do in the future, should he get re-elected.”
