At Thursday’s National Press Club energy debate, I asked Energy Minister Chris Bowen a simple question: “Have electricity prices risen on your watch?” Once again, he refused to concede it, saying only that prices were higher than the government would like. On that, we can all agree. Sky News Political Contributor Chris Uhlmann has urged Chris Bowen to stop telling people their power prices will fall after the Energy Minister failed to directly answer questions about rising electricity prices.

Australia is in the middle of an energy revolution. The Albanese Government wants over 80 per cent of electricity to be generated by wind, solar and hydro power in the next six years. That’s over double what it is now. And both major parties have committed to cutting carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. It all comes wrapped in a guarantee of a greener - and cheaper - future. But will it be? If the cost blows out, who pays? If the lights go out, who will be responsible?

Belinda Jones lives a short drive and a world away from Parliament House in Canberra. The chasm between her life and political platitudes is written in the latest electricity bill of the mother of three and full-time carer. “This is what I call a payday killer,” Belinda told Sky News, as she used a wooden spoon to point to hand-written calculations scrawled on the bill. “It's come in at $1073.31.

The Albanese Government’s plan to more than double green electricity generation in the next six years is built on a backbone of fossil fuels. The man charged with delivering Labor’s pledge to source 82 percent of electricity from wind, solar and hydro power by 2030 says natural gas will be the “ultimate backstop” for keeping the lights on because weather dependent generators can’t deliver consistent power.

And yet on a chilly afternoon, in fading sunlight, an Australian documentary crew found itself on a school oval taping the under-14 Kyiv Rhinos training session, led by coach Yevhen Zubritskiy. As he directed his charges about the field, barking out commands, it was clear that Yevhan had picked sides in Australia's annual state-versus-state grudge match.
