Josh Frydenberg sends the positive signal about coal before Tuesday's internal government deliberations
Energy minister Josh Frydenberg has declared he would welcome the construction of a new coal-fired power plant in Australia ahead of meetings on Tuesday where internal critics of his electricity plan are expected to voice their objections.
Frydenberg used an interview with News Corp to send the positive signal about coal before Tuesday's internal deliberations, with some Nationals still on the war path about the government either subsidising new coal plants or bankrolling the refurbishment of existing assets.
