Australian tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes has embarked on a Twitter crusade to redefine what Prime Minister Scott Morrison calls “fair dinkum” power, saying the government should drop its support for coal and do more to back renewables.
“Fair dinkum Aussie power is green, it’s leafy, it’s bright. There’s wind, there’s sun ... you get the idea,” Cannon-Brookes tweeted earlier this week to kick off a social media offensive against the government’s lack of action to promote cleaner energy sources.
