Ellen Sandell (Melbourne Greens, Vic) speaks to Viv about the Green's campaign to close down dirty brown coal Hazelwood power station (dirtiest in Australia, 3rd dirtiest in the world).  In 2010 the Victorian Labour Party promised to phase out Hazelwood, Ellen Sandell and the Greens are now reminding  Labour of John Brumby's promise to shut down Hazelwood and replace its output with clean energy.  GDF Suez owns Hazelwood and on its website  states that it is 'has become one of the nation’s leading independent power companies.'  Ellen and Viv discuss GDF Suez's responsibilities in relation to Hazelwood.
