The Morrison government announced on Wednesday it will build a new 660-megawatt gas open-cycle generator in the Hunter Valley to supplement the energy grid upon the closing of the Liddell Power station. The Australian Energy Market Operator said Energy Australia’s proposed gas-fired power plant in the Illawarra was enough to bridge the gap left by Liddell’s closure in 2023.
So privatisation doesn’t work?
Considering the PM is a pathological liar with a history of hollow grandstanding and, Liddell is not due to shut until 2023, surely this can filed firmly in the 'announcements' category and pretty much dismissed as valid unless ground is actually broken on site?
Is gas importance for you now! What a brutal mind ! What happened if you invest in federal quarentine system for welcoming international students and your citizens.. My temper on Scott Morrison is 100%
A man who is playing with international students.we are literally depressed by policy of brutal & inhuman man- Scott: Scott Morrison government lied international students died. Return our embassy,medical ,tuition fee we are ready to leave Australia...- no value for STUDENT..
The gas fired power station built at Kurri Kurri NSW will be run on coal seam gas fracking and backed up by burning diesel.
The prime Minister went on to say, 'If I don't throw taxpayer money at unnecessary things, how can I be expected to get a cut?'
Gas fired. What fking century are they in
Clearly a champion for fossil fuel industry, not for the Australian people. This is bad policy
Why didn’t Morrison have the same vaccine he wants most others to have ? Good enough for him good enough for everyone.
A $600 public investment as a gift to a LNP private donor. Brazen corruption
Gotta keep your FUTURE EMPLOYER happy MMMorrison
Shadow Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen says the federal government’s plan for gas led recovery is “fraud” as no jobs have been created but gas will continue to play a role in the transition from fossil fuels to renewables.
IT WOULD ONLY RUN TWO PERCENT OF THE TIME

Hunter gas power plant about ensuring Australia ‘can compete globally’ | Sky News AustraliaAgriculture Minister David Littleproud says the Morrison government’s $600 million investment in a gas power plant in the Hunter region is about ensuring Australia “can compete globally.' \n\nThe Morrison government plans to build a 660-megawatt gas power plant in the Hunter Valley in a bid to prevent the cost of energy skyrocketing.\n\nMr Littleproud told Sky News the “significant investment” in supporting the nation’s growing economy would “complement” coal and not accelerate its demise. \n\n“With the shutdown of Liddell, it’s estimated that energy prices would go up by 30 per cent - that’s not just for households, that’s also for business, manufacturing,” he said.\n\n“When there’s pressures on manufacturing we need more sovereign capability. \n\n“This is about maintaining prices, keeping them low, making sure we’re competitive.\n\n“So this investment is making sure Australia can compete globally using the new technology as ... we will continue also with the coal sector in carbon capture storage.'\n D_LittleproudMP The LNP hide behind the PRIVATE SECTOR (free market) who said NO to new fossil fuel sites. The always POLITICALLY driven Morrison uses our money to do it - spitting on liberal ideology. New mines corrupt net zero. The LNP (ab)using $600M of TAXPAYER MONEY in NSW Hunter. LNP vs 🌏 D_LittleproudMP Compete with an outdated and expensive project? Good joke! D_LittleproudMP Littleproud is makin little sense. Stop getting him to comment on matters outside his portfolio.

‘Real battle within Labor Party’: Fitzgibbon ‘furious’ with Bowen over power plant | Sky News AustraliaLabor sources have revealed to Sky News that Joel Fitzgibbon is furious and feels “blindsided” by Labor's energy and climate change spokesperson Chris Bowen’s avid opposition to the new gas-fired power plant in the Hunter Valley.\n\nMr Fitzgibbon said the government’s $600 million investment to build a new gas-fired power generator in Kurri Kurri was “unequivocally good for reliability, affordability, and our region”.\n\nThe Morrison government announced on Wednesday it will build a new 660-megawatt gas open-cycle generator in the Hunter Valley to supplement the energy grid upon the closing of the Liddell Power station.\n\nMr Fitzgibbon said the market failure was “one of the government’s own making” and welcomed its response to fill “fix the supply-gap problem”.\n\nSky News Political Editor Clennell said the Labor MP for Hunter was “blindsided by ferocity” of Chris Bowen’s statement today calling for the prime minister to justify the proposal.\n\n“This proposal isn’t justified by the economics, it isn’t justified by the engineering, this is a proposal which Mr Morrison and Mr Taylor must urgently release the business case for,” Mr Bowen said.\n\nThe shadow energy minister did not consult with Mr Fitzgibbon on the matter despite his public support for the government’s proposed gas project, according to Mr Clennell.\n\nMr Clennell said there was a “real battle” within the Labor Party as Mr Fitzgibbon was clearly “at odds with his old mate Chris Bowen”.\n\n“Joel Fitzgibbon campaigning against his own frontbench and his leader on this one.”\n Its OIL & PETROL that needs to be stamped out Immediately. Not so much Gas, unless your Fracking the Environment then that's not ideal. Good on him... he should be upset. fitzhunter can always hand in his membership. The only reason he's pro-fossil fuels is because his seat is full of gullible PHON idiots, and he had a 22% swing against him at the last election. But he's still in Labor because PHON wouldn't have him. He's not a REAL Labor man.
