Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has no faith in his own promise to bring down power prices.
When asked today when bills will actually fall and by how much, he refused to answer.
Instead of standing by his plan, he dodged, deflected and smeared.
That is not the confidence of a leader who believes in his policy, it is the behaviour of a disappointing Prime Minister who knows his word cannot be trusted.
What Australians do know is power prices have not come down by $275 as promised by Anthony Albanese, instead they're up $1,300.
Incredibly today Energy Minister Chris Bowen claimed that the Climate Change Authority's advice, that there would be a 20 per cent reduction in household energy prices within the decade, or $1,000 annually "was not a political commitment."
He did this because he knows the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) gave evidence to a senate inquiry last year that it could make no guarantees on lower prices with more renewables.
This is advice the Government is basing its entire emissions policy on yet Minister after Minister have refused to back its claim on power prices.
The truth is Anthony Albanese and Chris Bowen have lied to Australians before and now they have no confidence in their new fantasy.
If they had confidence in their plan they would tell Australians how much it was going to cost and put a dollar figure on what it will do to power bills.
As the Prime Minister jets off overseas once again Australians will be left with the bill and left disappointed in the years ahead.
