The Turnbull government has lost more ground with voters across regional Australia in a clear danger sign for his government in key marginal seats, with a new analysis showing core support for the Coalition has fallen from 44 to 34 per cent in the regions since last year's federal election. The government has increased it's primary vote in South Australia, Victoria and NSW but the gains have not been enough to halt the national trend towards ALP, which has cemented its national lead in the latest quarterly Newspoll analysis. PM Turnbull has kept his ascendancy over Bill Shorten as preferred PM with his personal support lifting in the same three states.
Josh Frydenberg says that the government could back away from the clean energy target.
The Turnbull government is saying that the rapidly declining cost of renewable energy is undermining the case for further clean-energy subsidies, as it maintains it will make a decision on a clean energy target in coming months. In a speech to the Australian Financial Review's National Energy Summit in Sydney on Monday, Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg has emphasised the “declining cost curve” for solar, wind and renewables storage. The government has accepted 49 of the 50 recommendations of the Chief Scientist Alan Finkel's review of the National Electricity Market. The government didn't accept the recommendation for a clean energy target- which would drive investment in renewables and bring down emissions- and this has divided the Coalition, preventing a decision on its future for four months. Many of the other Finkel recommendations will have a “profound impact” on the electricity market, Mr Frydenberg said.
