Q&A:ANTHONY ROBERTS NSW ENERGY MINISTER

摘要

After the recent state election in NSW, the returning Baird Government underwent a major shake-up, bringing some new faces to the cabinet, but also reshuffling a number of roles and accountabilities. For the renewables sector, the most worrying thing was the elimination of the portfolio of parliamentary secretary for renewable energy, leaving the interests of the sector in apparent limbo. Later advice suggested that renewables would fall under the ambit of the new Environment Minister, Mark Speakman, a known supporter of clean energy and emissions reduction. However, after several frustrated attempts to contact Mr Speakman for comment on policy direction, EcoGeneration was informed by government sources that the real man to speak to is Anthony Roberts, Minister for Industry, Resources and Energy.
