Labor’s green ‘ideology’ is not meeting ‘practical reality’ during inflation woes

Australian energy bills are “three to four times higher” than before as the government’s green renewable “ideology” is not meeting the practical reality of what is coming out of people’s pockets, Nationals Leader David Littleproud says. “When you look at what’s driving inflation at the moment, keeping interest rates higher for longer,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News host James Macpherson. “It’s actually energy and food. “They’re intertwined because not only are they taking away farmers labour supply and the supply chain’s labour supply but they’re also driving up their energy costs. “Our energy bills – are three to four times higher than what they were previously and when you’ve got this reckless race to 82 per cent renewables that is tearing up the very thing it is there to protect – the ideology of this government is not meeting the practical reality of what is coming out of your wallet.”
