Opposition’s energy spokesperson vague on when Australians will see power bill reductions under Coalition’s gas plan
The opposition energy spokesperson, Ted O’Brien, has not confirmed when Australian households would start seeing savings from the Coalition’s gas plan.
We are certainly looking, by the end of this calendar year, that you would start seeing wholesale gas prices coming down.
That means that as that then filters through with contracts, then by the end of the first 12 month period, industry [and] households should be seeing the impact.
No. What we want to do is build more homes. We’ve seen Australia over the first three years of this government, build half a million homes.
We want to build another 1.2m homes over the next five years. But not just that – the Housing Australia Future Fund is about building affordable homes as well as social housing for people who really need it, in particular women fleeing domestic violence.
