Labor's ideological commitment to renewables are to blame for soaring energy prices, and 'it comes down to a simple economic principle', says Nationals leader David Littleproud.
The federal leader of the National Party spoke to Sky News Australia's Tom Connell about the dramatic increase in energy prices, arguing Labor had failed to boost supply.

‘The most left-wing political grouping’: NSW Nationals break ranks to support the VoiceSky News host Peta Credlin says it's not really surprising the NSW National Party has “broken ranks” with its federal counterpart over the Indigenous Voice to Parliament proposal. The NSW National Party has revealed they will support the Voice – an opposite stance to their federal counterpart who say they won’t support the proposal. “As Mark Latham often says, the New South Wales parliamentary National Party is probably the most left-wing political grouping in the country,” Ms Credlin said. “While the Voice might be the most important issue for them, well to the people they want to vote for them, I bet it hardly rates a mention, wouldn’t even be in the top 50. “Right now, in regional Australia, they're focused on flood recovery, roads and bridges being up to standard and safe, energy prices, jobs in local communities, a decent education for country kids, dams and the sort of bread-and-butter issues we all care about. “If the Nats can't focus on this, then opposition is their next destination, that's for sure.”
