DEAR News Of The Area,
DUTTON and his LNP members say that they will reduce electricity prices, reduce the cost of living, reduce inflation – how?
Just slogans with no policies underpinned with competent concrete data.
Their nuclear electricity “policy” was evaluated by the Australian Energy Market Operator and CSIRO as being unrealistic and unaffordable.
Under such considered scrutiny some members of the Coalition had to admit that nuclear will not reduce electricity prices in the short term or long term!
So how does that affect our electricity prices, cost of living and inflation?
Do you remember the LNP’s changing statements over the months?
– Nuclear is the cheapest form of electricity (but it isn’t);
– No taxpayer funds to build them because big business will jump at the chance to build them (but they didn’t);
– Now the taxpayer will fund them;
– Dutton’s “coke can” of radioactive waste misinformation to voters.
Changing policy on the run doesn’t pass the pub test!
Now we are expected to believe the LNP’s own “creative” modelling – an analysis in complete disagreement with competent independent analysis.
The LNP is treating all voters as pliant non thinking pawns in their power deception.
So remember that if you vote, with an unprejudiced mind, for the LNP’s nuclear option, you will be voting for the most expensive and delayed form of electricity for yourself, your children and the generations to come, and the consequent taxpayer cost of keeping old coal fired powered stations operative.
But perhaps these LNP promises are just “non core policies” or “aspirational policies” of two previous Liberal PMs.
Regards,
Peter MEIN,
