INSIGHT

Clear Political Divide on Energy

  • There is a stark difference in Australia's major parties on energy policy: Labor promotes renewable energy, the Coalition supports nuclear power and gas.
  • This creates a clear choice for voters about how to end reliance on fossil fuels, affecting everyone's daily lives.
INSIGHT

Labor's Renewable Energy Vision

  • Labor aims for an almost entirely renewable electricity grid by 2050, replacing coal with industrial-scale renewables.
  • The system would include batteries, hydro, and gas as interim support for grid stability.
ADVICE

Tailor Energy Relief to You

  • Choose energy bill relief based on personal circumstances: Labor offers electricity bill subsidies, Coalition offers petrol excise cuts.
  • Evaluate your energy usage habits to decide which policy benefits you more immediately.
