Australian Energy Minister Chris Bowen clashes with journalist Liam Bartlett at press conference on fuel crisis and renewables #Australia #BreakingNews #ChrisBowen #FuelPricing #IranConflict

#LiamBartlett , who gave much respect to rapist Lehrmann on Spotlight, attacks #ChrisBowen on renewables & lack of facing media questions when he’s had daily press, conferences without Bartlett attending. Out to get some brownie points to impress his boss. Disgusting behavior.🙄

Bowen says fuel supply 'strong', tells Easter travellers not to cancel plans The energy minister said fuel supplies were holding steady, with dozens of shipments en route and service station shortages declining.

I've always "savaged" #ChrisBowen and basically accused him of being the "biggest idiot" in Australian politics, primarily due to his inane ideological policy obsession with #NetZero, which is BS, but granted, he has done a good job dealing with the fuel crisis.

‘No backward steps’: Chris Bowen fights for his political legacy At a difficult moment for Labor’s green transition, Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen has expanded his responsibilities. Will it come back to bite him?

Let's hope, if you are like me and don't want to see hundreds of thousands of hectares of prime natural habitat & farmland desecrated by the errant wind & solar farms that he is hellbent on allowing, that #ChrisBowen 's political legacy does not end up reading the way he wants it to.

Bowen touts 'cheaper-to-run' car take up, as govt appeals for EV feedback The Federal government has appealed for public feedback on its Electric Car Discount policy, as Chris Bowen says he wants more Australians in "cheaper-to-run cars".

One could be hopeful that a heap of Aussies will take #ChrisBowen and #Albanese up on their wantingness for them to give feedback on the government's "new car policies" and that they'll respond by saying that EVs are a "pile of pus" and wouldn't pull the skin off a bluddy banana. 😆😆👅

Australia's gas shortage blamed on 'stupid decisions' under Howard A long-awaited scheme to force east coast energy giants to set aside gas for Australian use is being finalised in down-to-the-wire negotiations between half a dozen cabinet ministers grappling with co...

The folly of the Howard government to not mandate a minimum domestic gas supply is irrelevant.

Because all that matters NOW is what #Albanese & #ChrisBowen does, not what Howard didn't do 20 years ago.

At least Albo & Bowen have finally found common sense to do with "energy policy" with ONE THING.

No more power bill rebates as energy prices soar 37 per cent The Albanese government will not extend its energy bill rebates after recent inflation data showed power costs shot up 37 per cent in the year to October.

All the Australians who voted for #Albanese and Labor because they were "sucked in" by the whole #NetZero bunkum and Albo's and #ChrisBowen 's propagandist announcements that renewable energy is CHEAP GREEN ENERGY are about to find out just how stupid they were.

‘There’s no doubt’: Pro-renewables expert rubbishes ABC claim A pro-renewables expert has torn apart a senior ABC journalist’s claim Australia’s clean energy transition was not driving up power prices, declaring there was “no doubt” renewables had “pushed up prices”.

It's just plain common sense. Of course the "renewable energy transition" is primarily responsible for huge increases in the cost of electricity.

Because the cost to generate it from the source and to distribute it is at least 3 times more than coal fired to premises.

#ChrisBowen is telling lies.

Reserve Bank’s shock announcement of electricity prices up 37 per cent Sky News host Andrew Bolt was shocked by the Reserve Bank announcing electricity prices had just gone up 37.1 per cent. “Electricity up 37.1 per cent in just the past year,” Mr Bold said. “You heard Albanese blame the extraordinary jump in electricity prices on the state government's taking off the energy rebates. “But seriously. Energy Minister Chris Bowen has failed.”

#ChrisBowen and #JimChalmers seriously both don't have a F-in clue about REALITY - in general.

Both of them, especially Bowen, continue to make the quite stupid and malicious claim that renewable forms of energy are the cheapest form.

However, the #ReserveBank disagrees and it's TELLING THE TRUTH.

Chris Bowen ‘sold Australia out’ in Brazil to stop coal and gas Sky News host Andrew Bolt slams Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen claiming he has betrayed Australia. Mr Bolt said Mr Bowen “sold us out” in Brazil as the energy minister signed a deal to tell the world to stop buying Australia’s biggest coal and gas exports. The Labor minister also promised to get rid of Australia’s coal and gas generators which supply two-thirds of the country’s electricity.

.... and to top it off @crikey.com.au and @australia.theguardian.com, #ChrisBowen, just like all the other CO2 haters and grifters who rocked up to #COP30, done or said NOTHING to aid the cause of stopping #deforestation - worldwide.

‘Our gas, our prices’: Ed Husic breaks ranks with Labor to demand an end to ‘profiteering’ by exporters Labor MP backs independent’s call for cheaper energy on the east coast by forcing producers to sell cheaper fuel for Australian use

#EdHusic 's pragmatism in relation to maintaining affordable and sustainable gas supply across eastern Australia is in direct contrast to the ideologically driven obstructionist attitude of all the "gas haters" in the Labor Party, like #ChrisBowen.

‘Turkey can have him’: Chris Bowen to become Australia’s first ‘part time minister’ Sky News host Danica De Giorgio criticises Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen for serving as COP31 president despite failure to lower power bills or meet emission reduction targets. Chris Bowen has broken many records and has had many firsts as Australia's climate change and energy minister. He's overseen record power price increases of up to 40 per cent,” Ms De Giorgio said. “Chris Bowen is about to become the country's first part-time minister operating on a fly-in, fly-out basis. “Given his poor track record at home, Turkey can have him.”

What do you mean SKY NEWS?

#ChrisBowen is the TURKEY.😄😄

Seriously, what a flamin' goose Bowen is.

For a whole year now, he is going to be gallivanting between Australia and Turkey, being both a "part time" energy minister here and and a "gaslighting president" for next year's #Cop31 in #Antalya.

Calls for Albanese to replace 'part-time energy minister' Chris Bowen A Liberal Senator has called for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to replace "part-time energy minister" Chris Bowen as he prepares to lead negotiations at next year's climate summit.

#Albanese should have replaced #ChrisBowen as energy minister LONG AGO with someone, anyone within the Labor ranks who has got any decent amount of pragmatism and practicality in nature.

Not some "ideologically driven goose" like Bowen.

Bowen is busy "annihilating" Australia's "energy prosperity".

Turkey to host Cop31 climate conference after Australia drops push to hold it in Adelaide Fortnight-long event to be held in Antalya but Australia may lead negotiations

Meanwhile @australia.theguardian.com, while #Albanese and #ChrisBowen try to conjure up Australia having a leading "propagandist role" at next year's #Cop31 in #Turkey catastrophic #deforestation of primary forest, including in #Brazil, will continue 24/7.

Truth is, Bowen only has brains on paper.

‘The dishonesty beggars belief’: Liberal hits out at Albanese after bombshell energy price report. Shadow energy minister Dan Tehan has called for “honesty” and “transparency” from the Labor government, as energy CEOs say Australians “have not cottoned on” to the true cost of the renewables transition.

The cost to energy consumers that will result from "majority renewables" will be enormous, in so many instances, especially for factories and industry, it will result in bankruptcy.

Not forgetting the devastating environmental impacts of wind farms.

Oh yeah, #Albanese & #ChrisBowen are real smart.

Albanese's brutal two-word assessment of Libs' net zero U-turn Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has labelled the Liberal’s rejection of the 2050 net zero target a “clown show” in a brutal assessment of the policy U-turn.

Sorry #Albanese - the "clown show" is the one starring you and #ChrisBowen with your mindless, globalist indoctrinated vendetta against CO2 & pursuing the elimination of a gas which is the cornerstone of life.

Because that's what #NetZero aims for.

'The jig is up': Coal still powering Aussie homes exposing hole in Bowen's roadmap Australians remain largely reliant on coal, gas and other fossil fuels for the majority of their energy, a fresh analysis has found.

#ChrisBowen 's "renewable energy roadmap" wasn't worth the paper it was written on right from the outset.

Bowen wilfully and maliciously is guilty of having made "grand misrepresentations" to date as to what % of energy renewables is contributing to the national power grid.

Bowen is full of shit.

Bowen's multi-million-dollar handout to billionaire's company exposes 'inherent contradictions' in renewables narrative Energy Minister Chris Bowen's latest multi-million-dollar handout to billionaire Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest's Fortescue for renewables has exposed the "inherent contradictions" in the government's green energy narrative.

Even though his company #Fortescue made a complete meal of #greenhydrogen in #Queensland and was given $110 million of federal and state government dough for the project in Gladstone, that it hasn't payed back, dimwit #ChrisBowen has seen to it that #AndrewTwiggyForrest has got another $45M to blow.

On another subject, the one and only time #ChrisBowen and the #Albanese government should have ever engaged in "market intervention" should have been to guarantee through legislation a "sustainable and affordable source" of domestic gas supply for Australian industry.

But that makes too much sense.

No such thing as a free lunch: Inside the bitter irony in Bowen's free power plan If the Albanese government has to re-train or condition us to conduct our lives around electricity supply then the energy system is not working for us.

#ChrisBowen 's "free power plan" is another example of his complete incompetency as a minister and misguideness to engage in "energy market intervention", which like any sector, is best left to regulate itself through fair competition between retailers.
