Key Liberal and National party electorates back a switch to 100% renewables by 2030 and a global moratorium on new coal mines, according to ReachTEL polling commissioned by The Australia Institute. 

A moratorium on new coal mines received between 50-57% support with opposition to the proposition ranging between 23-33% by voters in the seats of Dickson, New England, Warringa and Page. 

Australian becoming a 100% renewable energy powered nation by 2030 has significant support. Between 72-77% of voters in the conservative electorates are supportive, with just 14% to 18% opposed.
