Cost of living and energy bills have been a major focus of the 2025 federal election campaign. 

Anthony Albanese promised an energy bill reduction of $275. 

However, there have been no reports of the reduction. 

Federal Health Minister Mark Butler told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "These have been very difficult circumstances. There is not a yes or no."

"We didn't promise at the 2022 election we would provide every household with energy bill relief," 

"When circumstances changed as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, what that did to the gas markets, we changed our circumstances. We put in place significant energy bill relief, and that's what a responsible government does," Minister Butler continued.
