October 27, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington has demanded that Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk guarantee before the next State Election that Stanwell won’t close its Tarong power stations.<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington said the “evidence was in” the ALP’s 50 per cent Renewable Energy Target (RET) would shut down power stations across Australia and threaten thousands of jobs, including killing jobs at Stanwell.<\/p>\n

She was commenting on leaked modelling prepared for the Climate Change Authority, published in The Australian newspaper.<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington said the analysis had “exposed the disturbing truth that Labor\u2019s policies would threaten the future of Stanwell in the South Burnett”.<\/p>\n

\u201c(The) revelations will send shockwaves through every community across Queensland with a coal-fired power station,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLabor\u2019s crazy green scheme signals the death knell for Stanwell and the loss of South Burnett jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly Annastacia Palaszczuk cares more about grabbing green votes in Brisbane and getting re-elected than she does about saving jobs in regional areas. It’s a disgrace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Premier needs to come clean with our community and guarantee Labor\u2019s mad rush to renewables won\u2019t shut down our local power station.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf she can\u2019t or won\u2019t she clearly cares more about her own job than the jobs of thousands of Queenslanders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington said the analysis also showed that a 50 per cent RET would push up Queenslanders’ power bills by another $200.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnnastacia Palaszczuk\u2019s measly 96 cents a week rebate will be totally eclipsed by the $200 a year hike in bills this report forecasts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Shadow Energy Minister Mark Butler said the story “reflected modelling of a policy that no one has ever supported”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He described the story as a “tired old beat-up”.<\/p>\n

“The modelling assumes that the policy would be internationally linked and would start with a carbon price of $69 per tonne of carbon in 2020,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
