Two years ago, few would have thought Peter Dutton would go to the next election without a 2030 climate target. So what's changed?

He reminds voters of Anthony Albanese's promised $275 reduction in power bills, which is yet to be delivered: "How much higher will your electricity prices go under this prime minister?"

I don’t remember prices ever being cheaper under the coalition and I doubt spending billions on nuclear power would bring them down. Not to mention those plants would probably get on-sold to one of Duttons mates for pennies and then rape the energy market for profits.

All this to say: I’m glad I invested in home solar years ago and I’m glad I could finally afford a home battery. I’m just sorry for people who cannot afford or who are unable to do so.
