Opposition blocks Wind bill

Tue Jun 16, 2026 12:26 pm

Government has been trying for some time to pass new legislation covering Gas, Wind and Solar power, and today opposition parties worked together to ensure the government failed to pass Wind, fillibagging procedures right up to lights out when MPs were forced to resign to their burrows.

The government has been trying to pass the wind bill since its earlier Gas Act was discovered to be the source of a range of environmental pollutants. Gas protesters complained that the previous legislation "would cause a great stink" and the government's new attempts to pass Wind haven't received a much better reception. Shadow spokesperson for the shadow environment, Michael Bunsenson expressed his distaste from the shadows - "This is really little more than a puerile exercise, very thinly disguised and really quite beneath even this government. After this long in office I think its reasonable to expect a little more from the ministry. We're also very much against Solar, given our position."

A government spokesperson was available for comment, but our reporter was in the pub.
