Turnbull backs coal mine moratorium

Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull didn’t do the New South Wales government any favours with his comments on coal mines. State Energy Minister Matt Kean earlier this week appointed Mr Turnbull to be head of the New South Wales Net Zero Emissions board. Nationals MP Michael Johnsen on Wednesday resigned from parliament meaning his seat of Upper Hunter is up for grabs. Mr Turnbull told the ABC he backs a moratorium on coal mines, which dominate the Hunter Valley region. Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
