Seven News Presenter:
As the net zero debate heats up in Canberra, a renewables rejection database has been launched in the regions. Conservative think tank, the Institute of Public Affairs, was in the Riverina today to launch the database. The group maps community opposition to renewables projects, such as wind and solar farms. The IPA claims that regional voices are being ignored, and it wants to change that.
Mia Schlicht:
They’re the communities that we rely upon for the food and the fibre and the exports for this nation. Yet despite all the benefits they bring to this country, their opinions aren’t being considered in the net zero policy debate.
Seven News Presenter:
The database is said to be an Australian first.
