Green groups target Adelaide festivals ahead of SA election – and reviews are mixed

Culture meets politics as environmental groups distribute scorecards rating the major parties' environment policies

Renewable energy groups are targeting Adelaide's festival season ahead of the South Australian election with scorecards rating the major parties' environmental policies, with the Greens and Labor leading the way.

A scorecard distributed by the Australian Conservation Foundation gives its only five-star rating for renewables to the Greens. Labor gets a glowing four-and-a-half star rating for its heavy investment in renewable energy; Nick Xenophon's SA Best receives a lukewarm two stars, while the Liberals are panned with a scathing half-star rating.
