Ah yes, 2025 Callide coal-fired plant explosion the QLD LNP tried to cover up is biting hard.

The LNP when in opposition used Callide for ongoing attacks & wanted a Labor minister sacked over an explosion.

Will the LNP sack Energy Minister David Janetzki?

When wind turbines were partially involved in a state-wide blackout in 2016 in South Australia that was primarily caused by a storm knocking out powerlines, it reshaped the country's energy politics for years.
