The federal electorate of Calare sits at the heart of Australia’s energy transition. It’s home to one of NSW’s Renewable Energy Zones, a proposed site for the federal Opposition’s nuclear energy plan, and a major agricultural region navigating rising energy costs and climate impacts.
Community independent candidate Kate Hook explains why Calare is a microcosm of the national energy debate — and why she believes the electorate has more to gain from the shift to renewables than almost any other.
She outlines her plan for fairer access to clean energy, including government-backed loans to help households electrify and reduce energy bills, and argues for a managed transition that supports fossil fuel workers, delivers regional investment, and avoids costly delays, and distractions like nuclear.
