Federal government must end its ‘climate wars’, NSW energy minister says

Don Harwin urges Coalition to 'put science, economics and engineering ahead of ideology'

The New South Wales energy minister, Don Harwin, wants the federal government to end its "climate wars" and start reducing emissions, ahead of a meeting with his colleagues from across Australia.

But the Victorian energy minister, Lily D'Ambrosio, said the federal coalition was "beyond hope" on the issue and that NSW is calling them out too late.
