Liddell Power Station closure ‘isn’t the only reason’ for energy crisis in NSWThe closure of the Liddell Power Station “isn’t the only reason” for the energy crisis in NSW, says NSW Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Penny Sharpe. “This is the whole point of the coal caps and the work that’s being undertaken by both federal and state governments in the last six months,” she told Sky News Australia. “We’re going to have to work through those issues which are continuing and are putting some downward pressure on prices but prices are going to rise and that’s why we’re moving into the energy rebate space and trying to get some help to households and businesses as soon as we can.”

Wishful thinking and ‘green politics’ will always trump reality: CredlinThe imminent closure of the Liddell power station may be a “reality check” for the NSW government to invest in firming generation, to back up weather-dependent renewables, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin. NSW Labor's Energy Minister admitted the closure of the Liddell power station in a couple of weeks’ time will impact supply. “Maybe NSW Labor will turn out to be more realistic than the NSW Liberals,” she said. “But if recent history is any guide, wishful thinking and green politics will always trump reality, at least until the lights start going out, people can't heat their homes anymore, and more and more of our manufacturing jobs head offshore.”

Noel Pearson delivers ‘low blow’ toward Julian Leeser’s Jewish faithThe Voice to Parliament campaign has brought out Noel Pearson’s “inner bully” after a “deliberate low blow” toward Shadow Indigenous Affairs Minister Julian Leeser’s Jewish faith, Sky News host Peta Credlin claims. Mr Pearson questioned whether Mr Leeser wants people to wear a tattoo identifying them as Indigenous or “our clothes should be adorned with some kind of badge identifying us as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander”. “This was a clear reference to what the Nazis did to Jews – the Star of David on their clothing, and of course, later in the death camps, the tattooed numbers on arms,” Ms Credlin said. “It was a calculated attack of carefully chosen words, a deliberate low blow directed at Leeser who is a proud man of Jewish faith.” Ms Credlin said it should be possible to debate the Voice to Parliament without getting “nasty”.
