You post this with no real understanding of energy and its costs particularly the cost of new generation
You also need to understand that the taxpayer funded mainly coal powered stations cannot last forever and need to be replaced
Whoever replaces them needs to recover the costs
The fossil fuel industry abetted by a large section of the Lnp have put out the lies on this subject so often people like yourself believe them to be true
It would be good if you could read reports from scientists economists and industry specialists actually involved
They are almost unananamous the right the way through to 2050 renewables are the way to go
THIS INCLUDES THE COST NEW GENERATION UNITS ,BASELOAD COSTS AND TRANSMISSION LINES
There are dozens of articles readily available
Here is an excellent one put out by CSIRO in collaboration with the Aus Energy Market Operator

Key points
- Low emission electricity is key to Australia achieving its net zero emissions by 2050 goal.
- GenCost is one of several economic analysis documents that contribute to future low emission electricity planning in Australia.
- Since 2018, the GenCost report has shown wind and solar are the cheapest forms of newly built electricity generation
- Go through it then come back with specific questions preferably specific numbers rather than broadscale platitudes with no specifics attached Incidentally you dont turn the titanic round instantly but current policies are starting to turn round the huge prices introduced by prior policies
