Coal power stations are unreliable and expensive.
They're continually breaking down, causing blackouts and driving up electricity bills.
The sooner we transition to renewables, the sooner we can have more reliable, cheaper energy.

In a new civics report, only 28% of Australian Year 10 students met the ‘proficient standard’ in 2024 compared to 38% in 2019.
Australian students just recorded the lowest civics scores since testing began. But young people do care about politics
