'We're past talking about solar panels on houses' - Khan Horne, NAB

Taxpayer-funded clean energy projects have moved beyond slapping solar panels on people's homes, says an Australian banking executive.

NAB agribusiness general
manager, Khan Horne - we
are beyond talking about
solar panels on houses.

NAB agribusiness general manager Khan Horne has welcomed Coalition's plan to maintain the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, which former prime minister Tony Abbott attempted to dismantle.

Mr Horne said the corporation was helping the nation's farmers become more efficient and feed more people.

"We have moved on well and truly from talking about solar panels on the top of houses," Mr Horne said.
