Shadow Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews says the government should look to extending the life of coal-fired power stations to address the energy crisis.
Ms Andrews said the government needs to be “transparent” in their plan to address energy supply concerns.
“We need to look at how we can extend the life of coal-fired power stations,” she told Sky News Australia. “There actually needs to be some openness and transparency about how they are going to resolve the issues.”
