Australia’s 2050 net zero roadmap: missed opportunity for jobs for the bush?

Independent MP Helen Haines welcomes the federal government release of a 2050 net zero emissions plan however she says it is a missed opportunity to put the profits from decarbonising the economy back into regional communities. She argues the startup of clean energy projects across the country holds enormous potential for jobs creation in Regional Australia. She says the federal government’s 2050 net zero roadmap fails to plan for how a green energy boom can generate income in the bush.
