Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen is set to attend a closed-door consultation meeting on Tuesday in an attempt to ward off dissatisfied communities. Discontent amongst several Labor seats has begun to spread over plans to roll out offshore wind turbines and transformation lines. The offshore wind zone has triggered a fierce response from an alliance of fishermen, tourism operators, environmentalists, and residents. Mr Bowen will meet with several leaders in the New South Wales Hunter region after widespread community backlash over the plans. The government is hopeful the meeting will head off a revolt in key Labor heartland seats.

‘It is a stunt’: Keith Pitt accuses Labor’s nuclear transition modelling a ‘political attack’Nationals MP Keith Pitt has accused Labor’s modelling of Australia’s cost to transition to nuclear energy as a “political attack” on the Coalition.
