Sky News host Chris Kenny says Australia’s “energy delusion” has overtaken the nation and the politicians in Canberra.
“We had the nation’s energy ministers meeting in Canberra today, and many of them handle energy and environment, or like the federal minister, energy and climate,” he said.
Mr Kenny said Australia’s energy ministers had a duty of “making sure our energy supplies are as reliable and affordable as possible,” but this was contravened by their duties as climate ministers. “As climate ministers, these same people are charged with reducing the emissions from energy, which of course is what has made our electricity less reliable and more expensive,” he said.
“The climate and energy ministers are like fire and water ministers, chalk and cheese ministers, ministers for brakes and accelerators.”

‘No one in Taiwan’ wants to be ruled by ChinaThe Australian’s Will Glasgow says the declaration from Chinese ambassador Xiao Qian confirming Beijing's willingness to use force to control Taiwan was “huge news in Australia” but not in the island nation. “The threat of war from the PLA towards Taiwan is as old as the People’s Republic of China,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “That threat, if it was ever acted on, if it was ever successful would be followed by a re-education is just sort of assumed as of course what China would do, of course what the Chinese Communist Party would do.” Mr Glasgow said it was good an Australian audience heard China’s policy for Taiwan and it was “not at all popular” in Taiwan. “No one here wants to be ruled by the Chinese Communist Party and why would they?” he said.
