If you had a program that was reducing household energy costs, cutting greenhouse emissions and creating jobs, you’d think any government would be keen to keep it, right?
Wrong. The Napthine government announced in May 2014 that it would wind up the successful Victorian Energy Efficiency Target scheme by the end of 2015.
According to their own business impact assessment, the reason they want to scrap this successful program is because it is undermining the profits of big coal-fired electricity generators by reducing energy demand.

Whenever I feel like not putting in the effort, or would rather lie in bed, I say to myself 'Whatever It Takes'. 'Whatever It Takes' pushes me to do just a little more. 'Whatever It Takes' is the attitude the world needs us to have if we are going to change the trajectory of global warming we are currently on.
