Shadow Climate & Energy Minister Ted O’Brien says the Australian government needs to stop encouraging the "premature closure of coal fired power stations" when there is "no guarantee of a replacement being there in time”.

“They need to start setting up renewables for success, not failure – at the moment they are putting pressure on renewables that defies engineering and economics.”
