Our new prime minister, Scott Morrison, has ended the fusion of the energy and environment portfolios in the Australian Government
On Sunday, he appointed one of the country’s most prominent anti-wind campaigners, Angus Taylor, as energy minister, while a former mining industry lawyer, Melissa Price, became the environment minister.
Morrison's chief of staff is John Kunkel, the former deputy CEO of the Minerals Council of Australia, the same group that thoughtfully provided a lacquered lump of coal for the then Treasurer to wave around parliament in February
This despite a Lowy Institute finding published in June that, overwhelmingly, Australians want to move to renewables.
