NRMA TO MAKE ENERGY SECURITY AN
ELECTION ISSUE
Wednesday 3 March 2010:
Labor and the Coalition
will be publicly graded on
the transport energy
security policies they present to the Australian people in
the lead-up to this year’s Federal Election.
Speaking at NRMA’s Alternative Fuel Summit in Sydney this morning, NRMA Motoring
& Services President Wendy Machin said the NRMA would publicly rate the major
parties’ energy policies for the first time.
“Australia has no transport energy policy,” Ms Machin said.
“We are running out of our own oil and growing more reliant on oil imprted from the most
volatile parts of the world – unless a policy is implemented the economy will suffer.
“In this election year the NRMA is committed to holding both parties accountable.
“Australia needs a
workable
plan
to end our
dependence on fossil fuels and secure
sustainable, domestically driven alternatives
that will create local jobs and clean the
environment.”
“The best policy will get the thumbs up from Australia’s largest motoring organisation.
