BUSINESS CALLS OUT MORRISON ENERGY POLICY CHAOS, AGAIN.
MARK BUTLER MP
It seems every day business leaders are calling out the Morrison Government’s energy policy chaos.
Last week it was the largest gold miner, and the largest steel producer, as well as Coca-Cola Amatil, the Australian Industry Group and the Energy Users Association of Australia.
Today it is the country’s largest fruit and vegetable producer.
Harry Debney, the head of Costa Group, labelled the energy system after six years of Liberal mismanagement as “disgraceful”.
The cries from energy users, energy suppliers, experts and the states for federal leadership and a consistent energy policy grow louder by the day but they continue to fall on the deaf ears of the Morrison Government.
Rather than call a long overdue COAG Energy Council meeting and coming back to the table on the National Energy Guarantee (NEG), Energy Minister Taylor is launching the Government’s 16th energy policy in 3 years; a website for users suffering the higher prices and lower reliability that have become synonymous with Liberal energy policy chaos.
As long as the Morrison Government refuses to admit dropping the NEG was a grave mistake and admit their anti-renewables ideology has crippled their ability to deliver sensible policy, Australian households and businesses can expect less affordable and increasingly unreliable energy.
