Opposition hints at deal on renewable energy target but job-decimating recommendations must first be renounced
Labor has given its clearest indication yet that it will negotiate over the renewable energy target, with opposition leader Bill Shorten calling for the government to first set aside a review calling for a radical winding back of the scheme.
The review, led by businessman Dick Warburton, found that the RET had successfully boosted jobs and investment but should still either be closed to new entrants or suspended until energy demand increased.
