South Australians won’t COP global elites putting pressure on their power prices

Family First Party < 1 mins read

South Australians don’t need a $2 billion taxpayer-funded climate talkfest in Adelaide so virtue signalling global elites can put more upward pressure on families’ electricity bills.

 

Family First Upper House candidate Deepa Mathew said Premier Peter Malinauskas should be focussing on taking the pressure off families, not piling it on by leaning into the expensive net zero agenda global elites will be pushing at COP.

 

“Labor and Liberal’s love of net zero is only delivering pain to families and small business through rising electricity costs.

 

“When energy goes up, the cost of everything goes up.

 

“A global conference in Adelaide costing taxpayers $2 billion to put on will only put even more pressure on South Australia to adopt expensive and unreliable energy.

 

“With state Liberal and Labor wedded to net zero, Family First will be fighting all the way to the march election to take the pressure off families,” Ms Mathew said.

The Mining and Energy Union has responded to the NSW Net Zero Commission’s Coal Mining Emissions Spotlight Report, emphasising the continuing importance of coal mining to the state's economy and regional communities, and the need for clear, consistent emissions policy.

Not meaningful reform: workers lose under compensation cuts

Psychologically injured workers who are close to catatonic will have their support payments cut under new laws agreed to between the Government and the Liberals and Nationals. Despite repeated evidence that a WPI of more than 21% means a worker has no capacity to work, the Parliament looks set to raise the threshold for income support to 25%, before ratcheting up to 28 per cent by 2029. “The parliament has failed to deliver meaningful reform. Instead, it has taken a sledgehammer to the entitlements of traumatised and vulnerable workers,” said Thomas Costa, acting Secretary of Unions NSW. Under the changes,…
