Joyce wants energy solution not politics

Barnaby Joyce wants a solution to bringing down energy prices and not endless political point scoring that doesn't fix anything.

Former Liberal leader Tony Abbott, in one of his many deliberations in recent weeks, again wants to make energy policy the point of difference between the coalition and Labor, but the acting prime minister government said that doesn't solve the problem.

"We have got to a point now with this issue, the lady who is going to bed early to stay warm is not really interested in your political point scoring, she wants a solution and we have a moral responsibility to deliver it for her," Mr Joyce told Sky News.
