It would see research and development investment in green, clean technologies double to $200 million a year.

But the Government still intends to axe the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.

For the moment, ARENA is still making announcements. Yesterday, the agency announced the next stage of a project that will result in Australia’s largest renewable mining project in central Western Australia.
