One Nation is the only party completely united in our belief that Australians deserve a better, cheaper way of life by ditching Net-Zero.
Groceries, power bills, insurance and running a small business can all be made cheaper.
Only One Nation can be trusted to put Australians first over what foreign, unelected organisations tell us to do.

To get to what matters most in this debate over net zero, we just have to ask Australians some simple questions: is your life more affordable or more expensive over the last five years? Are you paying more or less for groceries? Is your power bill cheaper? How about the cost of a new car—how about your insurance premiums? Has your salary increased more than inflation? The answers are almost the same. It hasn’t gotten better; it’s far worse. All of these problems Australia is suffering from can be traced back directly to net zero policies.
This isn’t just a culture war, as some people try to write it off as; this is a fight for the survival and prosperity of all Australians. This is a fight to restore our country’s position as the envy of the world. Australia is the richest country in the world for resources. We have abundant energy resources. Australia is awash with vast amounts of proven coal, oil, natural gas, uranium, rare earths and critical minerals. We should have the cheapest power prices in the world, yet we pay more for electricity than the countries to which we sell our resources. Back in 2004, the energy white paper proudly boasted Australia’s average price of electricity as being just a touch over 4c a kilowatt hour—amongst the cheapest in the world. Now the average is 33c a kilowatt hour, just 20 years later. Japan imports most of its energy resources from Australia. Japan’s electricity used to be four times more expensive than Australia’s. Now, ours is 20 per cent more expensive than Japan’s—all because of net zero. Thank you so much!
We don’t make Fords, Holdens, Toyotas or Mitsubishis in this country anymore, because of net zero. Our steel mills, like the one in Whyalla, are going broke because of net zero. The copper smelters, like the one in Mount Isa, are shutting down because of net zero. Chocolate-maker Cadbury have said they may have to pull out of Australia because it has become undeniably expensive to manufacture in Australia. In the words of Matt Barrie, ‘Australia is about to be a country that cannot make a chocolate bar’—because of net zero.
Wind and solar pushers have been promising Australia that it’s the cheapest way to go. They’ve been saying it for 25 years, since the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act was implemented in the year 2000, under John Howard, yet here we are today, facing desolation. With the largest amount of wind, solar, batteries and pumped hydro on the grid than ever in recorded history, life has only gotten more expensive. As the solar, wind, batteries and pumped hydro increase, electricity costs increase. This is the experience of every country that has gone down the path of net zero. As electricity gets more expensive, good jobs in manufacturing are getting shipped overseas and life gets worse for that country.
The word coal and gas is tabboo in media circles ,, Why aren’t any tv stations promoting going back to COAL ,,,, liberals are hopelessly woke and need to get on board , comparing renewables with NUCLEAR brushing off any mention of COAL ,, What is COAL ,,, A TABOO SUBJECT ,, Major parties are giving the public an ultimatum of choice ( renewables vs nuclear , Coal is the only way to go on this issue , it’s got to be coal , forget nuclear ☢️ use it for subs and weapons but households need coal for the best reliable cheap power , I’ve listened to Simon stiel , he spews rubbish .
Bowen is in denial , he’s full of shit !
Our current government are undermining the country , the sooner this idiot is gone the better
A science teacher explains: What if there was no carbon dioxide in the air?
As a life force behind photosynthesis, lack of this gas would create a domino effect with the food chain – no living plants and animals would mean no living humans.
Carbon dioxide (CO2), a naturally occurring tasteless, odorless gas in our atmosphere is equally vital to life as oxygen.
About 3,000 years ago, we had the Minoan warm period. About 1,000 years later we had the Roman warm period. About 1,000 years later we had the medieval warm period. Right on time we have the modern warm period, but the “experts” tell us this is due to man’s influence. The obvious explanation is that it is a natural cycle and will cool in due course.
Incidentally the Medieval warm period was warmer than now, which rules out a human cause for the present warm period.
All this shows that man made global warming is a myth, which politicians are willing to destroy our economy to support this myth.
Terrific work Malcolm and very valuable comments on energy and the economy. Whilst appreciating your view on being the real opposition, to get more real traction in the parliament One Nation needs to convince or embarrass the Coalition- never mind Labor- forget the Greens and teals, into get serious about these issues and fight for better policies, particularly getting rid of net zero ASAP before it crucifies us all. You guys deserve the credit for having the best policies, but unless you can influence the movers and shakers to change these bad policies, we are in for much worse treatment than being laughed at! Bowen is the real joke or joker we have to remove from the pack to get some traction from Labor..
WE mustn’t forget the great work Trump and climate sceptics are doing in America to rid their economy of the Biden-era net zero restrictions, the same arguments must work here. Perhaps with their pressure on raising our defense spending we might get a reduction on net zero spending in compensation- that’s if they are in any way trying to balance budgets.
Keep the pressure on, they will wilt eventually under their failed renewable energy expectations.
