Transcript

00:00The people of southwest Victoria have made their voices clear.

00:04They don't want Labor's offshore wind farm zone forced upon them.

00:08Our local communities in Warrnambool and Port Ferry treasure their coastline,

00:14from the Logan's Beach Whale Nursery to our world-class fishing and tourism industries.

00:19They've asked fair and reasonable questions about the economic

00:23and environmental impacts of offshore wind, but they've been ignored.

00:29We've seen the same arrogance in the Hunter, Illawarra, Bunbury and now here.

00:35Labor's steamrolling ahead while communities are left behind.

00:39This is a government that puts ideology ahead of local voices.

00:43Labor's reckless push for a renewables-only electricity grid

00:46is driving up power prices, hurting small businesses and making our grid less reliable.

00:52And they refuse to listen.

00:54Communities across the country have been ignored, as Dan rightly points out.

00:58A Dutton Coalition Government will scrap this offshore wind zone and put locals first.

01:03We'll restore balance to energy policy, ensuring affordability, reliability and proper consultation.

01:10The people of southwest Victoria deserve to be heard.

01:13And we stand with you.
