Seventy-seven percent of Victorians want Australia to embrace a high renewable energy target, ramping up the pressure on Premier Daniel Andrews to vote against the Turnbull government’s National Energy Guarantee (NEG).
The results, from a Reachtel poll commissioned by Greenpeace Australia Pacific, serve as a timely warning to the Victorian leader, who has been under pressure to reject the NEG at next week’s COAG meeting, ahead of the upcoming Victorian election in November.
ReachTEL conducted this survey of 1,118 residents across the State of Victoria during the night of 30th July.
