The following is text of a Facebook post made on the official Prime Ministerial account:"Australia, I have a big announcement to makeYesterday, Australia generated 80% of its energy needs from renewable and non-polluting sources. There are still gaps in our network that need to be filled, but we are so closed to meeting and beating our Net Zero targets.This is only possible thanks to multiple terms of committed effort to transitioning Australia's economy. Old heroes of the Greens, like Imnofox and model-slater, were instrumental in making this happen. Governments with the Greens invested heavily in renewable energy generation, triggering a jobs and investment boom. Every day, more generation comes online and, as it does, we get closer and closer to that Net Zero target.Obviously there's a ways to go. Getting to 100% will require huge investment in the next-generation of generation and storage. It will require us to continue upgrading our transmission lines, shifting the country from a network that has been dependent on a few big generators concentrated in a few places. This dispersed grid requires additional funding, but it is funding that we are committed to delivering.And of course, as those in coal transition to new jobs in cleaner industries, the Australian Government has been there every step of the way. It was always the intentions of the Socialist and Green Parties that not one worker be left behind, and we have managed that admirably. Not only that, there are new jobs in constructing, running, and maintaining new facilities.We live in a cleaner Australia than ever before. It is a marked shame that the Greens no longer exist, having made a decision to join a party that does not support this just transition, and rather wants to keep coal power generating forever.Though, at this pace, it seems the Greens may become a relic of the past. They may no longer be necessary, as Australia powers through to a cleaner, greener future."
