Former Labor advisor Eamonn Fitzpatrick says the Labor government came to the election with a “very clear plan” around renewable energy. Mr Fitzpatrick’s comments come after concerns were raised about climate and the government’s push for net zero by focusing on renewable energy instead of nuclear. “Labor came to the election with a very, very clear plan,” Mr Fitzpatrick told Sky News Australia. “Surely you owe it to the electorate, and you owe it yourself to put your plan in place first – which is exactly what they are doing. “No one ever spoke nuclear back then – the cost is a huge unknown. “There is a plan in place now that is underway, we are looking at renewables and getting as much of that shipped on the way as possible.”

Community concern over environmental impact of Labor’s offshore wind turbinesEnergy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will attend a closed-door consultation meeting today over plans to roll out offshore wind turbines and transformation lines. Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says there’s a lot of community concern around the impact offshore wind turbines will have on the environment. The offshore wind zone has triggered a fierce response from an alliance of fishermen, tourism operators, environmentalists, and residents. “If you think it’s no good to have an oil platform off the coast of New Castle, like one or two platforms, how do you think it’s okay to have hundreds of wind turbines?” Mr Canavan told Sky News Australia. “They’ve got the same amount of drilling that has to occur; there’s issues potentially around the noise that they create long term.”
