Labor’s ‘disastrous’ approach to a ‘renewables-only’ Australia

Shadow Resources Minister Susan McDonald says the Labor government’s “renewables-only” approach to powering Australia has been “disastrous”. “For Chris Bowen and the Labor government to have gone down this fantastical journey of renewables-only, has been disastrous,” Ms McDonald said. Ms McDonald sat down with Sky News host Chris Kenny to discuss the Australian government's energy strategy and its reliance on coal and gas amidst rising electricity costs. She criticised the Labor government's push for renewables-only policies, arguing essential baseload power is necessary to prevent an energy crisis.
