Craig Kelly says Coalition must kill off renewable energy subsidies

Chairman of Coalition's backbench energy committee says Morrison government should wind up program

The chairman of the Coalition's backbench energy committee, the outspoken conservative Craig Kelly, says the government needs to axe current subsidies for households and businesses to install renewable energy technology like solar panels.

With the Morrison government in the middle of formulating its new energy policy, and with Labor now promising to maintain subsidies for households and businesses to install small-scale renewable energy until 2030, Kelly told Guardian Australia the Coalition needed to wind up the program.
