The $500 Billion Question: Can Australia Afford Net Zero?

STARTS AT 20:00

Australia is facing one of the biggest economic decisions in its history.

Should we continue down the path to Net Zero, or double down on coal and traditional energy?

Broadcast live from the CQ Energy Forum in Central Queensland, Karl Stefanovic is joined by Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor, Senator Matt Canavan and Federal MP Colin Boyce to debate the questions Australians are asking:

• What will Net Zero actually cost?
• Who pays for the energy transition?
• Can renewables deliver reliable, affordable power?
• What happens to regional communities and mining jobs?
• Is there a realistic alternative?

With billions of dollars, Australia's energy security and thousands of regional jobs on the line, this is one of the country's biggest policy debates.
