One of the most pressing issues is the fate of renewable energy initiatives across the country. In particular, the offshore wind project in Victoria has been effectively abandoned due to the inability to secure a buyer, illustrating the financial and logistical hurdles facing these projects.

Leaked documents reveal that authorities have engaged top accounting firms to explore ways to prolong the use of coal-fired power plants amidst the push for renewables, signaling a disorganized and possibly unsustainable energy strategy.
