'We won't shy away from hard decisions': Chris Bowen

Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen says the Albanese government will do whatever action is necessary to ensure ongoing reliability and affordability for the energy market.

“This government will take action when necessary and appropriately, we will do so, based on expert advice, we will do so cooperatively with our state and territory colleagues,” Mr Bowen said.

“The climate wars are over, and the energy wars are over. We will do what is necessary, and we won't shy away from hard decisions.

“But those decisions will be based on evidence, good policy, not on partisan politics, bickering, climate wars and culture wars.”
