Daniel Andrews to hike power bills by $65 million

Shadow Minister for Energy and Resources, David Southwick

Daniel Andrews’ renewable energy target will jack-up electricity bills in Victoria by at least $65 million a year.
Daniel Andrews is so desperate to distract from his war on CFA volunteers that he is hiking the cost-of-living of Victorian families already struggling to make ends meet.
We all agree that renewables can play an important part of future of energy generation, but Victoria needs a carefully considered transition plan.
Daniel Andrews is playing a dangerous game that risks shutting down the Latrobe Valley which will lose tens of thousands of jobs and jack up power bills for Victorian households and small businesses without a proper transition plan.
Daniel Andrews is running a dysfunctional and chaotic government which announces new disasters to cover up its existing disasters.
This announcement is confirmation that whether it is selling out volunteer firefighters or jacking up the cost-of-living, Daniel Andrews will pay any price to put his mates before Victorians.
