He says Shorten is “not fit” to be alternative prime minister, signalling a vastly different Turnbull from the July election, when he gave Labor a de facto free pass.
Conflict over climate policy is set to become toxic. Turnbull will take electricity prices as an issue to the next election, again in contrast to this year, when energy was hardly mentioned. He is convinced Labor has made a huge strategic blunder by locking into high-cost renewables. The energy fiasco in South Australia is his new vista of what Labor represents. Turnbull’s message is manifest: Labor puts green ideology before investment and jobs.
On climate change, the Turnbull of 2009 is long gone. Contrary to the romantic view of his enemies on the Left and Right, Turnbull is comfortable about his repudiation of anti-emissions trading and anti-emissions intensity schemes. He says Labor’s 50 per cent renewable energy target by 2030 is ideological, a “defiance of common sense” and a risk to households and business. Warning that Labor lacks “the faintest idea” of how to achieve its target, he calls it a “very real danger” to the nation. He believes it is a fraud on the public. “You can’t pretend that constant increases of energy prices are not going to have an effect on investment, on industry, on employment,” he says.
“If ever you wanted to know where the Labor Party’s ideological approach to energy policy is leading, just look at South Australia. You don’t need to theorise about it …You have got it there — the most expensive and least reliable energy in the country.

“You can’t pretend that constant increases of energy prices are not going to have an effect on investment, on industry, on employment,” he says."

So who is to blame right now for the increases in electricity prices?

I posted several days ago now, when you allow private enterprise the right to increase prices to make " a fair return on investment ", prices increases will forever occur.
Sadly the gullible and the ignorant will follow this pathetic government, no matter how foolhardy their folly.
