DEAR News Of The Area,
THE cost-of-living crisis is the main issue at this election.
The higher cost of energy in particular is driving up household bills and also leading to higher production costs for businesses and driving up the cost of household groceries and goods.
Families are struggling to pay the bills.
Labor, supported by the Greens and Teals have driven Australia towards an over ambitious and mismanaged race to renewables, which is driving up our energy costs.
The hypocrisy of it being okay to mine and export coal and gas to the rest of the world to consume instead of Australians, and this is saving the world environment is laughable.
We are now running the risk of running out of gas on the east coast and having to reimport some of the gas that we exported at a higher cost, increasing our energy costs further!
The rising cost of energy presents an image problem for the Climate 200-backed Teal “independents”.
I see their solution is to replace the teal colour in their political ads with orange!
They say a leopard never changes its spots, but politicians are willing to change anything to win a few extra votes, even their founding colours.
It seems orange is the new “Teal”.
Regards,
Paul DOYLE,
Korora.
