"The destructive credentials of conservative governments in Australia have been
newly reinforced by Monday’s announcement that Queensland’s “Newman-redux”
Crisafulli government has cancelled funding for state-owned Stanwell
Corporation’s CQ-H2 green hydrogen project at Gladstone.
Australia has been sliding inexorably towards ideocratic energy policy since
September 2013, when Tony Abbott’s ruthless dethroning of Malcolm Turnbull as
federal liberal leader delivered repeal of Australia’s carefully calibrated
carbon pollution pricing scheme.
That victory of brute over brain has ultimately led us to Peter Dutton’s
nuclear nonsense, further illustration of the destruction conservatives are
willing to wreak on Australia’s international energy reputation, for perceived
political gain.
The Crisafulli government’s decision to cut off CQ-H2 project funding, and its
timing, demonstrate that this destructive virus has also infected the Sunshine
State."
