Andrew Bolt praises Tanya Plibersek for blocking Victoria's offshore wind farm

Sky News host Andrew Bolt has praised Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek for blocking the Victorian government’s plan to build a wind turbine plant at Port of Hastings. The Victorian government had planned a program of locally-produced wind turbines in the Port of Hastings for use in offshore wind farms. Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek ruled against the offshore wind farm terminal due to its ‘unacceptable risks’ to local flora and fauna. Ms Plibersek said the production facility's planned 600-metre wharf southeast of Melbourne would cause irreversible damage to the wetland, and its native flora and fauna. Mr Bolt said he agreed with the environment minister saying the project sure would hurt wetlands in the area.
