Omissions from election debate could give Hunter miners cause for concern

SUNDAY'S ABC News featured some discussion with voters from Hunter. Oddly, neither a man who had just joined the National Party nor anyone else remembered that Scott Morrison's ads about future energy sources do not mention the word "coal". Not once, not at all.

The ads do rave about the jobs which solar power and so on will produce, but they don't say who those jobs will be for, what the jobs will be, and where the jobs will be located. In fact, from what I have seen the Coalition has only ever made one specific comment about any of those things; namely, to sneer that the only jobs created by solar power would be mowing the lawn under the panels.
