The “protection racket” The Guardian is running for Labor is “unbelievable” as some in the media still refuse to hold power to account, says Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton.
The Guardian Australia’s political editor Katharine Murphy wrote that Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen will “declare trenchant opponents of climate action in Australian politics and the media are using the cost-of-living crisis and soaring energy prices as cover to resume lying about the energy transition”.
Mr Houghton said nowhere in the “partisan piece” does it reference Labor’s “reckless and completely unachievable promise” to cut power prices by $275 by 2025.
“There is no greater issue than cost of living and those far-left journalists need to stop running protection for a government which made some pretty bold promises at the election,” Mr Houghton said.
