Renewable energy is ‘a bit like unemployment Bludgers in our workforce’: Matt Canavan

National Senator Matt Canavan says renewable energy is “a bit like the unemployed in our workforce” in that “they only come to work when they want to.”

“And we need a power grid that works all the time,” Canavan told Sky News anchor Andrew Bolt.

“Especially if we want to keep our manufacturing industry going, and it’s very sad to see a state like Victoria that has been the heart of our industry.

“Our heritage as a country has lived off the development of manufacturing in Victoria, and now it is simply in ruins thanks to the policies of the Labor Party and especially Dan Andrews.”
