VICTORIA HAS MASSIVE ENERGY RESOURCES

SO WHY DO YOU PAY THE WORLD'S HIGHEST POWER BILLS?

Flip the Switch. Lower Bills. Power Victoria with Freedom.

Victoria should be booming—we’re rich in natural resources. But instead, we’re stuck with sky-high power bills and crippling regulation. Why?

Because politicians are playing games with our power grid, that’s why!

Don’t worry, though. The Libertarian Party of Victoria has a real solution to make Victorian energy affordable for you and your family today.

Create a True Free Market in Energy

No more government ownership. No more special favours. Let energy producers compete – and let the best source in each scenario win.

Make Net-Zero Voluntary, Not Mandatory

We’re for clean tech – but not forced compliance. Australia produces less than 2% of global emissions. This does not justify coercion. Nonetheless, all those who wish to pursue and invest in carbon reducing technology must be free to do so. We support the freedom to innovate, not mandates!

Legalise Nuclear Power

Modern nuclear is safe, efficient, and clean. We must repeal the outdated ban and bring Victoria into the 21st century.

Unlock Coal, Gas, Oil & Uranium

We cannot afford to ignore the wealth beneath our feet! Let producers explore, extract, and supply to market all available energy resources using the most modern, clean and efficient technologies available; subject to the caveat that all such producers must subject to full liability for any infringements on the rights of others.

Scrap All Energy Subsidies

$1 billion a year in taxpayer giveaways? No thanks! Let the market – not politics – determine Victoria’s energy mix and favoured suppliers.

Fast-Track Energy Interconnectors

Connecting Victoria and Tasmania’s energy grids via interconnector in 2005 has been a huge success! Let’s make it so more interconnectors can be built across Victoria and its neighbours, so that everyone’s grids grow stronger, and prices fall for all!

Ditch Victoria’s Over-Regulation of Energy

Victoria’s energy regulation system is a mess! We need to dump it and switch to the national energy rules. This will make it easier for energy suppliers nationwide to build, supply, and compete to serve everyday Victorians! Victoria has the resources. The people. The tech. It’s just our politicians that are holding us back!

Libertarian – for cheap, reliable, freedom-fuelled energy.
