The Albanese government faces many barriers in reaching its goal of 82 per cent renewables by 2030. New-century thinking is needed to ensure renewable energy delivery, including tackling the current labour shortages and finding new investments to build the necessary infrastructure.

"Productivity improvements come with some new thinking", says Skipp Williamson, Founder and Managing Director of Partners in Performance, in her interview with John Durie and The Australian on how energy delivery needs to be rethought and rebooted to be successful.
