Australian software billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes has accused Prime Minister Scott Morrison of being dishonest over the cause of rising power bills, as he called on supporters of clean energy to get behind his "Fair Dinkum Power" movement.

| Atlassian's Mike Cannon-Brookes has used Twitter to pick another battle over energy. |
"People are saying 'why is my bill so expensive?' and [Mr Morrison] is out there saying 'it's renewables' - that is not true, that is dishonest," Mr Cannon-Brookes told Fairfax Media on Thursday.
"Your power bill is expensive for a lot of reasons and the experts agree it is nothing to do with renewables.”
Earlier this week, the Atlassian co-founder started a movement on Twitter mocking the federal government's use of the term "fair dinkum power", which became a catch-all term for baseload, fossil fuel energy, after Mr Morrison started using the expression in response to concerns about the reliability of wind and solar power.
