The federal Labor government’s promise to solve Australia’s growing energy crisis may be scuttled before it can be legislated after the left-wing Greens and centre-right Liberal-Nationals both warned they may not support the government’s Energy Price Relief Plan (EPRP).

The support of both parties is needed for the government to pass the EPRP in the House of Representatives or the Senate.
