From today, the Albanese Labor government is taking $300 off power bills for every Australian household. In two decades, Mr Dutton wants to serve up the most expensive form of energy there is, and he's going to ask Australians to pay for it. Mr Dutton says: 'I won't tell you how much it will cost. I won't tell you how much more expensive your bills will be. I won't tell you how many reactors there will be. You know what I'm going to tell you? It's going to be a big bill. I'm not going to say how big the bill is. I'm just going to say it's going to be a big bill.' This is an anti-renewables obsession that Mr Dutton is engaged in. The idea would provide the most expensive power there is in 20 years time, and all he is able to say is, 'Oh, yeah, it's going to be a big bill.' We're delivering cost-of-living relief now.
