Martin Ferguson applauds the Abbott government’s attack on renewable energy

Christina Macpherson  Just as well I’m not  a subscriber to the Fin Rev –  so I wasn’t able to read this almost certainly nauseous article.  Anyway, readers might have noticed that Australia’s former (Labor)  Energy Minister, Martin Ferguson, has gone very quiet in recent months.

In that job, Martin Ferguson functioned  with determination as the Minister Against Renewable Energy.  It was  a hard job for him, seeing that he was in  a government that supported renewable energy and action on climate change.

So now, at last,  – Ferguson can come out in his true colours – as servant of the polluting industries, and happily supporting the Liberals in their servitude to the polluting industries.   What’s next for Ferguson –  a big job with BHP, or with the Australian Uranium Association, or with John White, working for Australia as international radioactive trash dump?
