The New South Wales Liberal leader’s local branch is seeking to get party support to object to renewable energy zones in the Hunter and Illawarra region and investigate small modular nuclear reactors “as the alternative”.
Mark Speakman’s branch of Cronulla will move a motion at the state Liberal party convention on Saturday calling for the party to reject the renewable energy zones on economic and environmental grounds. The motion also includes calling for the NSW and federal governments to scrap the zones – which would include solar and windfarm projects – completely.
