Statement by Deb Frecklington, Shadow Minsiter for Energy and the Cost of Living
Labor is keeping a dirty secret.
Labor has refused to say just how much more Queenslanders will pay on their power bills to cover the cost of Labor’s blowouts on the Pioneer Burdekin pumped-hydro project.
Labor shouts at Queenslanders to trust them, but they refuse to say what the full cost of the controversial project will be.
Last year alone Queenslanders paid nearly 20% more in their energy bills, because of Labor’s failures at Callide.
The increase was TRIPLE the national average.
Now Labor wants to add even more onto Queenslanders’ energy bills but will not reveal the blowout costs for the Pioneer Burdekin project.
Ahead of an election, they’re desperate to keep the cost a secret.
Labor is prioritising trying to save their own political future instead of saving Queenslanders’ money in a Cost of Living Crisis.
Labor must fess-up about how much more they want Queenslanders to fork-out for the Pioneer Burdekin pumped-hydro project in the middle of Queensland’s Cost of Living Crisis.
Queenslanders deserve better than a Labor government with the wrong priorities, in a constant state of chaos and crisis.
Queenslanders deserve a government that can deliver projects on-time and on-budget.
Only the LNP has the Right Priorities for Queensland’s Future, including saving you paying for Labor’s failures.
In 200 days, Queenslanders can Show Labor the Door in ’24.
