Resources Minister backs new coal plant as Labor reconsiders climate policy.

A new coal-fired power station is back on the federal government's agenda in the wake of its election victory, with ministers supporting a major project in Queensland despite calls from environmentalists to accelerate the shift to renewable energy.
Senator Matt Canavan said "a lot of people make
 comments about the coal market and they have
no bloody idea about the coal market".
Resources Minister Matt Canavan is backing the new power station proposal and pointing to the Coalition's strong vote in his home state of Queensland to warn off critics from southern states who want to halt the project.
