Political leaders promising lower power prices, well, we've heard that one before.
00:07
Anthony Albanese pledged a $275 reduction before the last election, and it's haunted
00:12
him ever since.
00:14
Peter Dutton's being less specific about how far prices would fall under his plan, but
00:19
there are still risks here.
00:20
The energy market is notoriously complex.
00:23
Any promise to lower prices won't be easy to deliver, particularly when some in the
00:29
gas industry and market experts doubt whether this plan would really work in the long run.
00:35
Right now, details of this gas plan are scant.
00:39
The opposition leader is pledging to release more information, including modelling on the
00:44
price impacts.
00:45
Until then, demands for answers will persist.
00:48
The pressure and scrutiny will only grow.
00:51
The Prime Minister, meanwhile, is messing with his opponent's head, campaigning today
00:55
in Peter Dutton's own seat.
00:58
A sign he's confident the momentum is with Labor at the start of this campaign.
