Blaming renewables is the perfect cover.
The real culprits are:
-selling-off the most profitable bits of the network, but keeping the costly ones
-deregulating and creating an energy market
-creating an unnecessary "retail" sector of middlemen whose sole purpose is to skim profits for themselves.

Dear ABC radio, please have somebody with more expertise than me explain to you why “renewables are the cheapest form of power” and “power prices have gone up in the last years in spite of increased renewables” are not contradictory statements. And why slowing renewables will not bring prices down.

Be nice if you held Labor to account for bagging net zero in actions by approving in 2 years 38 new fossil fuel projects and tripling Australia's emissions with no stoppage in sight. There are 80 more submissions for fossil fuels and I think they will approve them all.

That story still doesn’t hold water for me. Police watched a bunch of Nazis leave a protest, but didn’t send one officer to follow them and ensure they weren’t going to start something else? Either absolute incompetence or an inside job.
