Verm hartcher said;"Still, Morrison leapt on Labor’s climate policy even before it was formally announced: “A 43 per cent target isn’t safe for the Hunter,” said the Prime Minister. “It’s not safe for Gladstone. It’s not safe for Bell Bay. It’s not safe for our manufacturers. It’s not safe for jobs.”
This is a very dated scare campaign. If Morrison is right, then the Hunter isn’t safe in any case because it’s subject to the NSW Coalition government’s target of a 50 per cent cut. Every time Morrison attacks Labor’s emissions targets, he’s also attacking those of the Liberal governments of NSW and South Australia.
Besides, the Hunter is now a centre of investment for the renewables economy. In an unhappy coincidence for Morrison, the NSW Coalition government talked up its Renewable Energy Zone for the Hunter region on the very same day.
It called for investment proposals for new solar, wind and storage for the zone. It has 13 already for the Hunter and Central Coast region and is seeking more."
