Queensland’s Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington says the state must embrace clean and reliable energy sources. She will commit to a policy of requiring state-owned electricity companies to invest in renewable energy generation if the Liberal-National Party wins the next election. The LNP previously supported coal-fired power generation under Frecklington’s predecessor Tim Nicholls, who stepped down after losing the 2017 election.

The Liberal National Party has stated it will scrap the Queensland government’s 50 per cent renewable energy target if it wins the election on 25 November. It has also promised to construct a coal-fired power station. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk notes Queensland already has eight coal-fired power stations, while she contends that scrapping the renewable energy target will put $A20 billion worth of investment at risk. LNP leader Tim Nicholls has stated the target is not realistic, while he contends the current government has used taxpayers’ funds to subsidise large solar energy projects.
