Albanese’s $275 Power Bill Promise Was Always a Lie

Labor’s Energy Plan Is Dead—And They Hope You Don’t Notice

The Albanese government has gone silent on energy policy, dodging questions and distancing itself from the modelling behind its 2021 Powering Australia plan. The Coalition is calling out Labor for failing to deliver on its $275 power bill promise—a claim that conveniently disappeared post-election.

‍

Silent on Energy, Loud on Excuses

At a press conference on Sunday, Anthony Albanese repeatedly refused to confirm whether his government still backed the modelling that supported the $275 reduction claim. If the numbers were real, why wouldn’t Labor stand by them? Instead, they’re shifting narratives and hoping no one remembers.

The $275 Myth: Just an Election Slogan

Labor’s promise was based on selective modelling. Now, with energy prices soaring, it’s clear that the $275 reduction was never realistic. Bills are up, not down, and Australians are paying the price for political spin.

‍

Why Won’t Labor Own Up?

The refusal to stand by its own modelling suggests Labor knew the numbers didn’t stack up. Instead of transparency, they’re relying on voter amnesia. But Australians remember being promised relief—only to see their bills climb higher.

Energy Policy Shouldn’t Be Built on Lies

Australians deserve honest leadership. The energy crisis won’t be solved with empty promises. If the government won’t stand by its own numbers, it’s time to admit the failure and deliver a real plan.

Until then, the $275 power bill promise remains what it always was—a lie.
