17 December 2020 In this note we observe that the Federal Government has made a complete mess of energy policy during the time of the Turnbull and Morrison Governments. Current energy and emission reductions minister Angus Taylor has accomplished nothing and does not appear to be capable of articulating a policy capable of getting consensus support. The federal government has pivoted from coal to gas, but all that has done is annoy its diminishing band of coal supporters and exposed its inability to get the basic economic analysis correct. The Federal Governmnt has stuffed up so badly that in electricity it’s too late.
