We need permanent solutions to energy affordability, not just band-aids

We need permanent solutions to energy affordability, not just band-aids Rewiring Australia says the federal government must make long term investments to slash bills, rather than relying on temporary relief such as the now axed energy rebates. “This rebate was always a short term bandaid. It softens bills for a year, then disappears, while households are still stuck with gas and inefficient appliances that keep costs high. If the government wants real cost of living relief, it should fund an Electrify Everything Loans Scheme for low income homes and their landlords so they can install solar, batteries and efficient electric…

TALENT ALERT: Experts warn Queensland’s Energy Roadmap risks higher bills, weaker reliability and lost jobs

9th December 2025 The State Government is planning to legislate their Energy Roadmap this week – weakening Queensland's renewable energy commitments and extending the life of ageing coal fired power stations. Leading energy, investor, conservation and community experts have warned the new energy bill risks leaving households exposed to higher electricity costs and pushing clean energy investment interstate. Instead of a clear transition pathway, the roadmap removes legislated renewable energy targets, delays the replacement of ageing coal-fired power stations, and gives the Minister broad discretion over the state’s future generating mix – decisions experts say will undermine investor confidence and…
