New Family First ad exposes the truth behind soaring power bills

Family First < 1 mins read

Family First has launched a hard-hitting new ad campaign highlighting the real reason families are being smashed by rising electricity prices — and it’s not what the major parties are telling you.

 

Family First’s lead Senate candidate for NSW, Lyle Shelton, says the Albanese Government’s promise to cut power prices by $275 has been exposed as a cruel hoax.

 

 “Despite the promises, families are paying more than ever — and the reason is simple: both Labor and Liberal are obsessed with the globalist net zero agenda,” Mr Shelton said.

 

“Instead of using our abundant coal, gas and uranium to deliver cheap, reliable energy, politicians are deliberately driving up prices by tying Australia to the failed Paris Agreement and forcing unreliable renewables onto the grid.

 

“Australia should be the nation with the cheapest power in the developed world. We once were — and we can be again.”

 

Mr Shelton said the ad was a rallying cry for Australians to reject the insanity of net zero and return to energy policies that put families first.

 

“If emissions must come down, nuclear is the only proven way to do it while keeping the lights on. Net zero has failed — economically and scientifically. It’s time to get out of Paris and end this madness.”

 

The ad will be shown on smart TVs and digital platforms in the lead-up to the next election, with a call for Australians to support Family First’s campaign to restore common sense to energy policy.

Low- and middle-income Australians with super should not foot the bill for compensation scheme cost blowout

The Super Members Council (SMC) is urging the Government to rethink its decision to push the bill for compensation scheme cost blowouts onto Australians with super, with data in the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) released today showing super tax receipts at forecast highs. Super tax receipts are expected to increase by $10.9 billion over the forward estimates from 2025-26 compared to the estimates in March’s Budget, a 10% increase on the already-high levels estimated in the last update. Despite that, the Government is asking poorer Australians, already feeling squeezed by cost-of-living pressures, to help plug a hole in…

Treasurer must levy big coal and gas corporations to fund climate disasters Make Big Polluters Pay

Climate disasters are projected to cost the federal budget $6.3 billion in the upcoming mid-year economic forecast this week. The Treasurer should follow public opinion and ensure coal and gas corporations responsible for most climate pollution pay for these costs, rather than forcing ordinary taxpayers to shoulder the burden, according to the Make Big Polluters Pay alliance. Climate disasters already cost the economy $38 billion each year, with households, communities, local governments and small businesses paying to recover from extreme weather. These impacts are also driving up insurance premiums, food prices and household bills. Deloitte projects disaster costs will exceed…
