Renewables do decrease prices though? Maybe l2add?

If you’d heard it was 40% why did you say it was only 6-8% in your previous comment?

Because that’s literally what the referenced article states? Maybe l2read?

You can do a bit better than citing a dude with vested interests. You can even find government sources that roughly agree with you: The AEMC report

However the report also notes that:

Delays to new wind and transmission build, and the uncoordinated use of CER are projected to have the biggest impact on electricity costs.

Highlighting that renewables do decrease prices. Of course, reducing gas prices would probably also reduce prices.

Also at least for last quarter the [AEMO] (https://www.aemo.com.au/-/media/files/major-publications/qed/2024/qed-q4-2024.pdf?rev=d75996ee2317495783a18c996d5878ac&sc_lang=en) report that coal and transmission are the driving costs. Negative energy prices were primarily driven by renewables.

Also

Transmission makes up about 50% …

Network costs (the poles and wires) account for about 45 per cent of a power bill and it’s these costs that are on their way up.

I heard it was up to 100% Last time I checked it was 156% Old mate said it was 196%

The actual figure I saw was around 40%, but sure you can inflate things by saying upto.

You know you could just read the article

The renewables in our grid lowered average household electricity bills by up to $417 in 2024, collectively saving households up to $3.8 billion in just one year.

Thanks to the high share of renewables, wholesale prices nearly halved in the last three months of 2025.

And on your point the report says

Transmission – the highway system that transports power from where it is created, to where it is used. Transmission only makes up about 6-8% of an overall power bill.

Albo has decided to consume the liberal vote by adopting some right leaning behaviors.

What I’ve never understood is, don’t they realise those people will never vote for them? The libs will always be the party of the right, it doesn’t matter what labor does or says.

Why not give the Christian nationalists more power? What could go wrong?
