To secure Australia’s international strategic advantage, the best thing the country could do is to become a “global energy superpower” according to NSW One Nation leader Mark Latham.
Sky News host Alan Jones spoke to Mr Latham and Nationals Senator Matt Canavan about how Australia in recent years has “demonised coal fired power”. “Yet we’ve got hundreds and hundreds of coal fired power plants being built around the world,” Mr Jones said. Mr Latham said coal and energy is one of the most important strategic questions for the Australian economy.
“The immediate smart thing we could do is to become a global energy super power we flourish in coal, nuclear, gas, renewables if they could hold their weight”. “That should be Australia’s international strategic advantage, reliable power, cheap power, and manufacturing jobs”. Mr Canavan said if Australian coal was “good enough for the Chinese to use” then why isn’t it good enough for Australians to use.
