Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen wants to double down on the rollout of offshore wind farms, renewables, and the phase-out of coal-fired power plants.
Bowen claims that Labor’s landslide election victory, where it only secured 34.7% of the primary vote, was a rejection by voters of anti-climate action “noise”.
“Peter Dutton described the 2025 election as a referendum on Australia’s energy choices … and the results of that referendum are clear: in uncertain times Australians want an affordable plan, backed by the experts”, Bowen wrote in The Australian.
