Prime Minister Julia Gillard despite making a promise to boost renewable energy is under pressure of cutting more than $400 million from the sector.
Gillard has been promising to do more and more to help clean energy since the day she took the top job.
She stated that the record investment will be continued in solar and renewable energy.
But despite this, $416 million from renewable energy has been cut already. The amount that has been cut has been directed to green farming and ‘cash for clunkers’ scheme.
This was not good enough, Greens climate spokeswoman Christine Milne said.
Milne said, "Despite promising record investment in renewable energy, Prime Minister Gillard has used this election campaign to pull funding out of renewable energy at a record rate.”
The coalition was accused by Milne of emulating some of Labor's cuts to renewable energy.
Despite all this Gillard expressed that she stood by her climate policies.
Gillard added, “I believe our country and our planet are getting warmer and warmer and warmer and I believe we need to act, politicians and their fellow Australians working for change side by side.”
