THIS coming Tuesday February 6, Canberra is set to be the stage for opposing sides of the energy debate as a sizeable crowd is expected to descend on the nation’s capital in a protest dubbed ‘Rally Against Reckless Renewables’.

A long list of serving ministers and senators are expected to speak to the crowd arriving from many rural areas across the nation, including former deputy prime minister, Barnaby Joyce, Bob Katter, Pauline Hanson and Gerrard Rennick – however, the progressive political organisation GetUp was planning to provide a counter presence and was sending out its own calls for fundraising to its members and supporters.
