Chris Uhlmann, who is not exactly a fan of Australia’s shift to renewables, made sure he was front and centre at the energy ministers debate. The columnist for the Australian and a Sky News political contributor – who was once the political editor at ABC and Nine – adopted an aggressive tone as he grilled Chris Bowen about Labor’s $275 power bill promise.
Uhlmann did not so much ask the energy minister a question at the National Press Club debate as deliver a 136-word monologue, repeatedly goading Bowen to admit he was wrong.
