The Abbott Government is doing a review of its renewable energy level targets. Abbott has been building up to this with much criticism of the target levels and the impact on electricity prices. So we knew it was coming.
Fine if he doesn't believe in it. Perhaps the review will change his mind or show the truth yeah?
But who do they put in charge of the review? A business man called Dick Warburton who not only knows little about the sector but is a climate change SCEPTIC.
What the...??
A self-declared climate change sceptic, Mr Waburton told Fairfax Media on Monday that he still maintained those views. But he said he had made a commitment to Prime Minister Tony Abbott that he would carry out the review in a ‘‘completely open fashion’’ and fully canvass all other sides.
Yeah right.

Gas prices were always set to rise, since the deal to sell a lot of it to China.
made some years ago.

I know the gas prices were set to rise but by 30% in the next year or so is way to much.I remember when gas was cheap to use and now it's costing just as much as electricity in my situation anyway.I think solar might be on the cards pretty quick.

It should never have been allowed, to sell off such a valuable and necessary resource, now we are the ones suffering for it.
