In today's episode for Thursday, 24 September 2026, the federal Coalition doubles down on its clean energy rollback as Dan Tehan confirms a future government could "absolutely" fund new coal plants, sparking an internal revolt from South Australian Liberal Senator Andrew McLachlan. Meanwhile, Market Forces exposes a potential $9.74 billion blowout on APA Group's Beetaloo-to-east-coast gas pipeline, Origin Energy revives plans for a massive 1.2 GW gas and diesel peaking plant near Goulburn, and a leaked lobbying paper reveals gas distributor AGIG's plan to kill Victoria's electrification roadmap. Plus, GenusPlus secures a $135 million transmission contract for Western Australia's largest wind farm at Parron Maam Marang, ESR acquires Aquila Clean Energy APAC, and the AEMC faces fierce industry backlash over allowing monopoly electricity networks into public EV charging.
