PBO CONFIRMS: RENEWABLES AGENCY STILL ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK

Media Release

Mark Butler MP

Shadow Minister for Environment
 Climate Change and Water


Date:  03 February 2016

The Parliamentary Budget Office has today confirmed that the Turnbull Liberal Government is committed to its attacks on renewable energy.  
Savings have already been booked from the abolition of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), despite the Turnbull Liberal Government’s praise for its work.   
The change in Liberal leader to Malcolm Turnbull hasn’t changed the Liberals’ anti-renewables agenda.
Both ARENA and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation remain on the chopping block despite the pivotal roles these agencies have played in the development of renewable energy in Australia.
