The Dutton Liberal-National Government has made a major election commitment to cancel the Hunter Offshore Wind Zone, delivering a huge win for local communities, tourism, and the fishing industry.
Liberal Candidate for Paterson, Laurence Antcliff, and Senator Maria Kovacic announced that an elected Coalition Government will scrap the controversial wind project, which has faced significant backlash from locals over environmental concerns, job losses, and impacts on marine life.
🗣 “Labor is forcing industrial wind turbines onto our coastline without community consent. Only the Liberals and Nationals will stand up for the people of the Hunter and stop this disastrous project,” Antcliff said.
More Local Investments
The Coalition isn’t just stopping Labor’s reckless energy policies—they’re investing in Paterson’s future with:

Labor’s Broken Promises
The Albanese Labor Government promised $1 million for Max McMahon Oval before the last election—but three years later, not a cent has been delivered.
Senator Maria Kovacic slammed Meryl Swanson and Labor for failing to deliver:
🔹 “Labor has abandoned Paterson. They broke their promise on Max McMahon Oval, they’re ignoring local infrastructure needs, and now they want to ruin our coastline with an offshore wind farm no one asked for.”
Coalition: Putting Locals First
With the cost-of-living crisis biting and locals fed up with Labor’s high power prices and broken promises, the Liberals and Nationals are stepping up with real solutions.
