Peter Dutton has hit out at Labor's energy policies, accusing them of 'switching off the old system before the new one's ready' as he warned of more cost of living pain for struggling households.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said Labor"don't even want" to talk about the consequences of their energy policies as he warned households were yet to face more cost of living pain.
Mr Dutton added that the opposition wanted to see"an increased number" of renewables in the grid, but that a"a sensible and sober conversation" was needed over the make-up of Australia's energy landscape going forward. "Nuclear energy – in the form of small modular zero emission energy – is the only feasible firming option if we want clean, consistent and cost-effective power," he said."The UK's made it very clear that they cannot meet their international obligations to reduce emissions without the use of nuclear to firm up that energy source.
The opposition leader highlighted core inflation , as he attacked the government for not doing enough to support Australians in need."Their demoralisation is palpable, and our nation's inflation is like an untreated infection making Australians sicker."Instead of the government lowering inflation, it's fuelling the fire of inflation by making bad decisions and avoiding others.

‘The trigger’: Kitching refused to support Labor’s plans to ‘weaponise’ Higgins rape allegationFinance Minister Katy Gallagher will be under pressure when parliament returns on Tuesday and on any measure, “should not hold her job,” according to Sky News host Peta Credlin. Ms Credlin’s remarks come as Ms Gallagher has come under fire in recent days over bombshell text messages suggesting the Finance Minister misled parliament on Brittany Higgins’ rape claim. Senator Linda Reynolds revealed the late Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching had warned her two weeks before the Higgins interview with Lisa Wilkinson that the party had a rape allegation it was going to weaponise. “Now, it’s all crystal clear, isn’t it? The trigger for Kimberley Kitching’s fallout with her colleagues and the retaliatory bullying that followed all stemmed from the fact she refused to support their plans to use the yet-to-be-revealed rape claim by Higgins as a weapon against the Coalition,” Ms Credlin said. “Labor is now clearly worried about the Kitching history here, the whole Mean Girls saga and now the weekend’s backtracking from Gallagher that ‘no-one knew anything’, which has now become a weak and watered-down, ‘I knew but only for a few days and I didn’t do anything with it’. “As more and more comes out, I think we’re all reminded again of the unique politician we lost in Kimberley Kitching because regardless of how you vote, she was a woman of integrity, and the parliament is the poorer without her.”
