The Federal Opposition is calling on Energy Minister Chris Bowen to resign after revelations Snowy 2.0 is now expected to cost up to $25 billion and won’t be operating until 2029. Bowen says the project is a complex engineering feat, while Labor argues the Coalition failed to properly cost it when it was first announced in 2017. Despite the price tag, the project is expected to cut wholesale energy costs by just $7 billion over its first 50 years. It comes as the Nationals and One Nation are set for an epic political duel in Queensland that could have huge ramifications across the country.
