A key government backbencher has warned that the impacts of any last-minute changes to the proposed National Energy Guarantee need to be made clear before the energy deal can be approved by Coalition MPs.

| Craig Kelly, chair of the Coalition's backbench environment and energy committee, isn't happy with what he sees in the national energy policy. |
Liberal MP Craig Kelly, who chairs the Coalition's backbench energy committee, told Fairfax Media he planned to seek changes to the scheme when it reaches the federal party room on August 14 - assuming the COAG energy ministers sign up for it next week.
Read the story by Peter Hannam from The Age - “'No rush': Craig Kelly demands details of additions to energy plan.”
(Craig Kelly's claim -"I don't think there's any urgency to rush this through" - illustrates that he is totally unaware of the seriousness of climate change and the impact that fossil fuels, Australia's prime source of energy, is having on worsening a quickly expanind problem; a problem that will disrupt and dislocate all the cherished values, ideals and policies of the coalition. This should have been settled 30 years ago and Craig Kelly is simply wrong - Robert McLean)
