Malcolm Turnbull says the Coalition’s position on the RET was settled 18 months ago under former prime minister’s leadership
Malcolm Turnbull has dismissed Tony Abbott’s latest criticism of the Coalition’s renewable energy target, reminding Abbott that the target was settled under his leadership just 18 months ago.
Abbott warned at a Young Liberals conference at the weekend that power was getting more expensive and less reliable because the Turnbull government was making it “harder and harder” to use coal and gas through the renewable energy target.
