Andrews’ Solar Tram Stunt

Shadow Minister for Energy and Renewables, David Southwick

Daniel Andrews’ announcement today will do nothing to ease the pressure on families facing bill shock under his watch.

Victoria has lost 25 per cent of its electricity supply after Daniel Andrews wacked the industry with a $252 million tax forcing the closure of Hazelwood.

This announcement today has no answers to the energy security challenges our state now faces.

Families are losing out under Daniel Andrews with a 20 per cent hike in their power bills – how does a green tram help them?

Daniel Andrews should be fighting for the most affordable power deal for Victorians not wasting money on media stunts like this.

It is clear Labor has no plan for Victoria’s long term energy security and affordability.
