  • Shannon Fentiman calls out David Crisafulli on the LNP's promises ahead of his first budget

    The Crisafulli Government will release their first budget on June 24 and there's plenty on the line.

    Treasurer David Janetzki has already confirmed that the former Labor government's $1000 energy rebates will be scrapped.

    So how will they deliver lower energy prices?

    Shadow Treasurer Shannon Fentiman told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "Before the election, I'm sure you remember David Crisafulli banging on about a cost-of-living crisis and he said, energy bills would be lower under the LNP."

    "He also said that if families are still struggling, energy rebates must continue, which I thought, that's a pretty strong statement from David Crisafulli, but now he actually is the Premier and in charge it would seem that he either is breaking his promise on rebates or he doesn't think families are struggling."

  • 'Do not be fooled': Chris Bowen refuses to take responsibility for rising electricity prices

    Energy Minister Chris Bowen is seeking to review the default market offer system, which controls standing offer prices in some eastern states in a bid to get better energy prices for consumers.

    Peter Fegan has suggested the Minister is trying to shift the blame for high energy prices to 'price gouging' rather than the high cost of switching to renewable energy sources.
