‘PM with the begging bowl out’: Aussies back fossil fuels as Labor ‘hypocrisy’ exposed

Shadow Energy Minister Dan Tehan discusses post-budget polling, which shows increased support for fossil fuels.

“The electorate has been able to see the hypocrisy of Chris Bowen and the Labor government,” Mr Tehan told Sky News host James Macpherson.

“The prime minister has been on a tour of our near neighbours with the begging bowl out, pleading to get access to more fossil fuels.

“We are going to be completely agnostic when it comes to energy sources. We just want to pursue energy abundance, and that’s coal, oil, gas, that’s everything on the table, including nuclear.”
