BREAKING: They’ve been exposed
NEVILLE — This is big. Labor has called out the government’s heinous attempts to destroy solar and walked away from Renewable Energy Target negotiations, saying it could not accept the government’s proposed “deep and devastating cut to the sector”*. This development has lifted the curtain on the government’s true intentions for solar and renewable energy. By failing to come to an agreement with Labor to restore bipartisan support for the Target’s future, the government has exposed the fact it wants to keep pushing on with its attempt to put renewables at grave risk.
Labor’s Environment spokesman Mark Butler’s statement today says he “raised serious concerns about restrictions on the rooftop solar industry”** in negotiations. On top of this, we’ve been hearing persistent talk that the government wants to drastically reduce the small-scale part of the scheme that covers rooftop solar. This is in stark contrast to Ian Macfarlane’s public statements last month that household solar was in the clear.*** The Coalition broke its election promise as soon as they walked through Parliament’s door as the new Government, setting up the bogus Warburton review that has undermined the renewable energy industry and sent billions in investment offshore. The Target will bring power prices down for everyone, create more than 15,000 solar jobs and make it easier for people to go solar. But the big power companies are fighting tooth and nail to protect their huge profits and we all know who they expect to pay – every Australian power user. But together we won’t let them get away with it. The Federal Cabinet is meeting soon and the people sitting around the large table can resolve to back the Target and restore confidence in Australia’s most innovative new industry. Ask your politicians whose interests they’re backing – yours or those of the big power companies? Send your personal message to Cabinet right now and show them that you’ll support politicians that support lower power prices and create more Aussie jobs. Claire, National Director PS: A year is a long time in politics, but we need to remember how this began. The Coalition promised to support the Renewable Energy Target, but soon after the 2013 election it announced an unnecessary review that undermined the industry and cost billions in investment. Even the Warburton review found the Target will bring down power prices for Australians by 2020. So stop reading this email and write to Federal Cabinet using our easy online tool – tell the Government to get back in touch so Australia can get on with the job growing solar and renewables .
