Federal Government should drop plans to wind back RET: Hewson, ABC News, By business reporter Emily Stewart 1 Dec 2014,

Former Liberal leader Dr John Hewson says the Federal Government should abandon its bid to scale back the renewable energy target, calling it a political barnacle that needs to be removed……..Dr Hewson, who is also an economist, said that the target needs to be maintained.

“If you’re talking about barnacles, get rid of this one,” he argued.

“He had a pre-election commitment to keep it … It costs him nothing to leave it there. It has no impact on the budget.”

Dr Hewson said the Abbott government is off the pace of worldwide climate change developments……..http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-12-02/federal-government-should-drop-plans-to-wind-back-ret-hewson/5934756
