How much will Labor’s Pioneer Burdekin pumped-hydro plan cost?

15th April 2024

Again, I ask how much will Labor’s Pioneer Burdekin pumped-hydro plan cost Queenslanders?

How much more will Queenslanders pay on their power bills to cover the cost of the multi-billion-dollar blowouts on this project under Labor? 

Labor expects Queenslanders to sign up for one of the most expensive infrastructure projects in the State’s history, without knowing how much it will cost and how much more they will pay on their power bills.

Labor can’t be trusted, and is clearly trying to hide the cost ahead of an election.

Last year alone Queenslanders paid nearly 20% more in their power bills, triple the national average increase, because of Labor’s failures at Callide.

Now Labor wants to add even more onto Queenslanders’ power bills but won’t reveal the blowout costs for the Pioneer Burdekin project.

It’s more Labor chaos and crisis, from a government with the wrong priorities.
