2 Million people have visited Labor's Urgent Care Clinics.

7,500 right here in Fairfield.

With our other clinics around McMahon we're helping people for when it's urgent but not an emergency.

And all you'll need is your medicare card.

When I see disinformation I will call it out.

The world is getting on with the energy transition.

Renewable energy is the cheapest and quickest form of energy - it's clear why it is miles ahead of other electricity generation just this past year.

They’ve got nothing else to talk about except me and nuclear 🫶

Great to catch up with my friend Minister Tan today 🇦🇺🇸🇬

Together we signed a new agreement to advance electricity trade with Singapore.

It's all part of our plan to strengthen partnerships and share our world class solar with the region, creating jobs and investment in Australia

80,000 is a big number. This is how big.

Renewables and farmland coexist and thrive together.

The Coalition would have you believe otherwise.

Do you live in an apartment?

The Albanese and Minns Labor Governments are working together to make sure everyone can access our world class solar energy - including if you live in an apartment, whether you own it or rent it.

The Shadow Minister recently went on a trip to US to visit their Nuclear facilities.

He left a few places off his itinerary.

We heard from local community and faith leaders about these impacts and how we can work together to drive action.

Climate Change affects us all - right across the Blue Pacific Continent to the suburbs of Western Sydney.

5 months after the Australians rejected nuclear...

Chris Bowen @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social · 7d

This policy started just over 3 months ago. Now, 75,000 Australians have already lowered their energy bills for good.

Chris Bowen @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social · 8d

And we need to replace that generation now, not in decades when nuclear would eventually be ready

We can’t wait decades for an expensive nuclear scheme.

It may not yet be Halloween, but this is the scariest film in town.

It’s scary because it shows the Coalition still doesn’t get it.

Ageing coal generators are leaving the grid this decade.

Chris Bowen @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social · 8d

While the Coalition double down on expensive nuclear - we’re getting on with rebuilding our grid.

Less coal and more renewables is good for bills and the environment.

Hey Dave, I've got a deal for you.

The Albanese Government's 5% first home buyer scheme comes into effect today.

It will save years off the time and thousands off the cost of owning your first home.

It's important to call this stuff out.

Chris Bowen @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social · 10d

Rhetoric like this is dangerous and should be called out.

Climate change is real and it is having real effects on our farmers now.

Chris Bowen @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social · 11d

That's why we will continue on with the job of increasing our renewable energy and putting downward pressure on prices.

Renewables are the cheapest form of energy, and without them, Griffith University finds that we could be paying upwards of 50% more for our electricity.
