We're making more solar panels in Australia, and today we've announced we'll recycle them here in Queensland.

Thousands of solar panels on homes, businesses and solar farms will now avoid landfill to be re-purposed for parts.

Fantastic news indeed! We strongly welcome the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's commitment to helping the nation become a renewable energy superpower, with the plan for 'A Future Made In Australia' ☀

Australians can make (great) things here.

(contd.)

Exciting news: The Australian gov launched the National Energy Performance Strategy (NEPS) today! We are thrilled and are looking forward to consumers taking control of their power bills and the transition to our net zero goals

'When it comes to climate, the Government seems to want praise for doing some right things, while doing more wrong things.

'We wouldn't accept this behavior from our children. We shouldn't accept it from our leaders.'

- Climate & Energy Director Polly Hemming

Today Australians are right to sing the Government’s praises from their solar rooftops.

Barnaby Joyce tried to push the Coalition’s debunked scare campaign about new vehicle efficiency standards in Question Time today.

He obviously didn’t watch the press conference.

Socceroos killing it.

It's almost like it's a mistake here at #Socceroos qualified against Lebanon!

Barnaby slumps back into his seat after complaining about the price of a Toyota.

Chris Bowen 'Who should we believe about Toyota? Barnaby or the Chief Executive of Toyota?'

(and Toyota doesn't support the LNP's 'ute tax' scare campaign either)
