Protecting regional Australia, our industries and the jobs of hardworking Australians is at the heart of the Coalition Government’s emission reduction policies.
Australia’s shift towards renewable energy is something to be proud of. Last year alone, a record 7,000 megawatts of new renewable capacity was added to our electricity grid, confirming Australia’s standing as a world leader in solar and wind energy generation.
