Sky News host Peta Credlin says Australia is committing “economic self-harm" – thanks to the politics of climate and identity.

The Albanese government’s ambitious green hydrogen plans have faced a harsh reality check as dozens of proposed projects have been quietly “archived”.

“Naturally, the epicentre of this self-inflicted damage is the People's Republic of Victoria, which will be hit with blackouts or serious energy rationing if current policies aren't dumped,” Ms Credlin said.

“Under Daniel Andrews, with Premier Jacinta Allan as his willing accomplice, the Victorian Labor government has legislated to ban coal fired power within a decade, even though coal currently provides more than 60 per cent of the state's electricity.”
