Exposing the True Cost of Net Zero

What is the true cost of the net zero transition? Minister Watt had previously provided a figure of $122 billion, but this figure was significantly discounted and left out substantial elements of the cost, which Frontier Economics estimates to be over $650 billion. One critical omission was the cost of behind-the-meter power, which involves taking power from people's wall batteries and electric vehicles.

When I pressed for details, Senator McAllister reiterated the government's reliance on expert advice from AEMO. However, bombshell freedom of information documents revealed that AEMO was instructed by the government to take net zero as a forced assumption, despite claims of independence. This raises a crucial question: could an even cheaper grid be built if we ditched net zero?

The reality is that Australia's electricity prices have never been higher, despite increasing installations of wind, solar, and batteries over the past 20 years.

South Australia, the wind and solar capital of Australia, has seen spot prices averaging $200 per megawatt hour for the last quarter. It's clear that the current approach is pushing Australia into poverty.

One Nation is committed to exposing the truth and advocating for policies that prioritise the well-being of Australians.

We need a government that is transparent and accountable - one that makes decisions based on the best interests of the people, not political agendas. Only One Nation will put you first and put more money back in your pocket.
