Hi [Name],
You don’t make electricity bills cheaper by taxing them. But that’s exactly what Christopher Luxon is doing.
Families are already stretched at the doctor’s office, at the supermarket checkout, and at the petrol pump. Now, National wants every household to pay more for their power, to fund a new terminal to import fossil fuels from overseas.
The new terminal will cost billions of dollars - and it will be paid for by Kiwi families. Every household will have a charge added to their power bill, even if they don’t use gas.
Christopher Luxon won’t say when it starts or how long it will last. But even his own advisors admit that it will push energy prices up for families and businesses.
Instead of backing cheaper renewable energy right here at home, National is locking New Zealand into volatile international gas markets and sending you the bill.
Everyone knows fossil fuels aren’t the future. This plan ties us to unpredictable overseas prices and makes Kiwis pay more for years to come.
New Zealanders deserve better.
We can invest in affordable renewable energy generated right here in New Zealand, lowering power bills, and building our future at the same time.
National is gambling with our future. Labour will invest in it.
Ngā mihi,
Chris
