NLP clean energy finance corp. shutdown not lawful

[not_an_eloi]

A leadin' barrister maintains that it's not lawful for the new governement to instruct
the clean energy finance corporation to shut itself down.

"The board of the clean energy finance corporation is legally obliged to ignore a directive from the new treasurer, Joe Hockey, to cease its operation and could take the Coalition government to court if it persisted in attempts to shut the CEFC down before the parliament voted to abolish it, according to advice from a leading barrister.

In advice to the Australian Conservation Foundation, Stephen Keim, SC said it was not lawful for the new government to tell the CEFC to cease operations. He said it was in contradiction to the requirements of the legislation setting it up, and the board would be “obliged to ignore the direction”.

Easy fixed !!!

Stop the funding and let it stand on its own feet.

If it can do that then it is viable new industry.

It it does not then we are shoveling funds into a bottomless pit.

It's wrong IMO to be making decisions like that before taking it to Parliament first

hey what! and cutting funding to schools and hospitals is OK but not to cut it to a self interest mob

I don't believe that I've ever said anywhere that I agree with that either, unless you can show me otherwise?
