Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has vowed to scrap the offshore wind farm project proposed for the NSW Hunter region if the Coalition is elected next year.
The Albanese government’s planned wind farm has been expected to generate up to five gigawatts of power for about four million homes.
The Hunter wind farm extends from Nelson Bay to Port Stephens and covers an area of 1,854 square kilometres.
During a press conference on Thursday, Mr Dutton revealed he would scrap the project, citing concerns about the environment, economy and energy reliability.

Scrap windfarms scrap solar, scrap migrant's then scrap politicians and cops and no nuclear,no electric cars either.
Good on him scrap some of the solar farms as well .
There should be a wind farm in Warringah and North Sydney
Don't worry about the Illawarra wind farms, the rusted on Labor voters in that area will keep voting Labor, so they must want it.
Good start Dutton as the answer is not blowing in the wind
Peter Dutton has just won the election 🗳️👍🤣😂
Green energy and kill the environment
Dutton shouldn't even be the opposition leader. This country is completely doomed
What about the other wind farms?
Rubbish. Rubbish.
This is the second Large offshore Wind-Farm that will never see the light of day under a Dutton Federal Government
They are Novocastrian Offshore Wind Farm in the Pacific off Newcastle, which was proposed by International Broad Energy Company Equinor and leading Australian offshore wind developer Oceanex.
2) The Leeuwin Offshore Wind project a massive 3GW 200 turbines, and six sub-stations, offshore wind farm – the biggest in Australia to date – is being proposed for waters off the coast of south-western Western Australia, comprising up to 200 turbines to be installed in Geographe Bay, proposed by aspiring Danish firm Copenhagen Energy,
Tens of thousands of whales use the water in and around Geographe Bay WA on their annual migration to Antarctica.
It will receive assistance from Federal, State, and local authorities.
Thanks God at last Dutton is speaking out against the useless wind farm, hopefully he will stop all the metals that are invading the beautiful nature.
Nice. Now do solar panel farms, wind farms, ev's, cbdc, transgenderism, males in womens sport and bathrooms, woke bs etc, etc.
And how many jobs did I d I o t Plibersek take when she said no to the McPhillamy Goldmine project??? You are not talking about that are you L y I n g Jim?
While you are at it Dutton, scrap all vaxx mandates in Australia, get rid of the Elites as well
Not just the Hunter, scrap the off shore wind farms around Australia
Nuclear energy bring down power prices😊
Scrap all that other rubbish as well
Cancel ALL except NUCLEAR, GAS & Base-load COAL Supply! Renewables & Climate Change is a SCAM, Check out the USA! Lining the POCKETS of those who speak LOUDEST!
Albanese's new beach property is ideal for wind turbines. Come on Albo, stick it where it fits.
Lies until they come true, actions mean more than bullshit. Just ask ALBO.
We will come to find that Dutton and the LNP are corrupt in why they are pushing this nuke thing. Invested interests behind the scenes for money no doubt. Makes no sense….bad platform to get elected from. The hills have eyes will not win. LNP wasting time taking him forward. Aussies don't like people like Dutton. Ex copper to boot…
Be a thinking, worthwhile human being.
Vote LNP.
Scrap wind turbines altogether & give back our coal
That will get him in,everyone is starting to see through the lies on the cost of the renewable failure.
Why are these labour ministers are so up them selves!
He should vow to not take 20% super or exempt themselves from the retirement age.. He should vow to scrap life pensions for politicians and should vow to never create legislation that is not good enough for them.. HE should vow to serve the people, not himself and his CEO mates. We really need to topple this 2 party system and get their grubby hands off our country and our money.
scrap the digital id first
About bloody time took Dutton long to wake up
He just needs to say he will get of the Paris agreement now
He has no hair – they could fit a wind turbine to his nose by mistake. He does not move much.
How backward is Dutton, even France is building windfarms off Brittany. Denmark is well ahead, they export power to other nations in Europe at a profit. Hmm Dutton is taking Australians for fools.
I have a question how many nuclear power stations could Australia have built with the billions of dollars wasted on solar and wind power
Everywhere windfarms should be cancelled or pulled down. Useless expensive garbage.
WE need reliable power and the reality is that does not come from intermittent wind and solar. The money you save here, put it towards Nuclear. It's reliable and emissions free.
Chalmers your a dope only jobs are in China
why don't you scrap those sneaky bills too??? ALBO/DUTTON SAME SAME
if Alex antic was the liberal leader, they would get into power no problems
Let's have more scrapping of wind farms Mr Dutton and you'll win in a massive landslide
Where the hell do they get cleaner and cheaper from? Tell us about how much it costs to produce 1 wind tower Mr Chalmers, sorry Dr Chalmers? You are full of it .
VOTE 1 NATION NOT LABOUR AND NOT LIBERAL AS THEY ARE THE SAME DISEASE
…but will this WEF servant scrap Digital ID
