Power bills are going down in other states, while Queenslanders are copping another $53 increase, adding more pain after a whopping 19.9% increase last year.
Queenslanders’ power bills skyrocketed three times the national average last year, the worst in the nation, and now they’ll pay even more under Labor. This all comes on top of huge spikes in power prices for farmers and small businesses – with some bills increasing by half from one bill to the next!
Labor has failed us all. For 1,000 days, this Government has allowed a major power plant to be offline at Callide. This has ripped 10% of Queensland’s power supply out of the system, driving up the cost of power.
Shockingly, Labor has missed seven deadlines to get it back online and still hasn’t come clean on what went wrong in the first place. Now, Queenslanders will be slugged an extra $53 on their power bills.
Both the Queensland Competition Authority and the Auditor-General have confirmed Labor’s Callide failures are driving-up power bills. Labor’s secret report into Callide still hasn’t been released and they’re keeping the truth under wraps.
This is a government with the wrong priorities, in a constant state of chaos and crisis.
The LNP is committed to introducing a maintenance guarantee for Queensland’s power plants, because it is a priority for Queenslanders.
The truth is, Queenslanders can’t trust Labor in a Cost of Living Crisis.
Only the LNP has the right priorities for Queensland’s future, including saving you paying for Labor’s failures.
