Anyone who says renewables are ‘cheap’ is ‘lying’Any government minister saying wind and solar power are cheap is “lying” – simple as that, says Sky News host Peta Credlin. “You hear anyone say that renewables are cheap and I want you to remember these three facts,' Ms Credlin said. “First, there's the equipment needed to supply it, the solar panels and the big wind turbines, almost all of them made in China – so jobs and a profit in China, but not here. “Second, once you generate renewable power you’ve got to connect it to the grid, meaning billions and billions of dollars in transmission lines – even though the connections will only be needed 30 per cent of the time, because that's about as often as renewables work. “And third, this need for firming up … renewables power, because the sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow.”

Labor’s changes to superannuation are ‘obviously targeted’ to generous super balancesMelbourne Deputy Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece says the changes Labor has made to superannuation are “modest” and “obviously targeted” to those who have generous super balances. “This change that’s been made, it’s very modest, it’s obviously targeted at those who have very, very generous super balances, three million and plus,” Mr Reece told Sky News host Paul Murray. “You could have a hundred million dollars in your superannuation account, and guess what? You’ll still get a concession under these arrangements - it just won’t be as generous as the one you get now.”
