The Queensland LNP government has moved quickly to take its first official step towards repealing the state’s renewable targets, while axing a swathe of energy advisory bodies.

On Oct. 16, Energy Minister David Janetzki tabled the Energy Roadmap Amendment Bill 2025, which amends the previous Labor government’s Energy (Renewable Transformation and Jobs) Bill 2023.
