Deputy Liberal leader Sussan Ley has clarified that the Coalition’s newly announced energy working group is not a one-off review but an evolving, long-term process aimed at building a credible alternative to the Albanese government’s energy policy.

Speaking a day after unveiling the group in her National Press Club address, Ley said the panel—chaired by Shadow Energy Minister Dan Tehan—would “develop a plan underpinned by two goals: a stable energy grid providing affordable and reliable power for households and businesses, and reduced emissions that show Australia is playing its part in the global climate challenge.”
