    2 weeks ago | abc.net.au | Tom Lowrey

    Independent and Labor campaigns have raised questions about an apparently coordinated campaign of support for Coalition candidates by members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.

    On a warm Monday night in Port Stephens, north of Newcastle, it is standing room only at the local game fishing club.

  • Your guide to the energy divide at the federal election

    3 weeks ago | abc.net.au | Tom Lowrey

    There are few more stark policy differences heading into this election than concerning energy. The two pitches being put forward by both Labor and the Coalition are two very different paths to the same destination — net zero emissions by 2050. Labor is pursuing a renewables-led path, with an energy mix dominated by solar and wind by 2050, and backed up with hydro-power, batteries and gas.
