Open letter to Josh Frydenburg, Kooyong.
Late last year Prime Minister Abbott broke an election promise when he called for devastating cuts to the Renewable Energy Target.
This week the Abbott government has used national media channels to deliver veiled threats: take our offer to slash the Target to around 31,000 GWh, or we'll walk.
I ask that you represent my views in the Australian parliament and your Party Room on retaining the RET in its current form.
Solar energy is a clean renewable solution for the future. You are attacking on solar energy if you reduce the RET, and breaking a clear election promise.
Please keep the Renewable Energy Target strong. The Renewable Energy Target is one of the most successful pieces of nation building legislation in past years.
Not only has the Target helped more than 5 million Australians go solar, it also benefits the entire country - increasing investment, growth, jobs and regional development.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Campbell
