Australia’s Energy Crisis: Hazelwood Closure Means Higher Prices & More Blackouts
The Federal Large-Scale RET has just claimed another scalp in the shape of 1,600MW of reliable base-load plant at Hazelwood, Victoria – as well as more than 1,000 well-paid blue-collar jobs and an entire regional community.

Turnbull Plays ‘The Man from Snowy River’ in Uncosted Pumped Hydro Plan
Hardly renowned for his political masterstrokes, Malcolm Turnbull has just drenched the opposition with his Snowy 2.0 plan.

One Nation Looms: Federal Coalition Must Scrap the RET to Avoid Drifting to Defeat
*** In September 2015, Malcolm Turnbull drew the political dagger and thrust it into a sitting Prime Minister, Tony Abbott. There are plenty in the Liberal party that will never forgive Turnbull for his treachery, but there are legions more among the Australian voting public still ready to exact revenge.
