‘Deal-breaker': Queensland flags renewable energy as key to emissions deal

The Queensland government warns it may block the Turnbull government's signature energy plan, saying that it won't sign any deal that undermines the state's ambitious renewable energy target.

Labor's states and federal counterparts will discuss
 the National Energy Guarantee on Friday.

Anthony Lynham, the state's energy minister, told Fairfax Media that backing for the National Energy Guarantee hinges on whether Queensland's target of making 50 per cent of its electricity renewable by 2030 will not be affected.
