Gary Hardgrave has clashed with former 2GB Drive host Chris O’Keefe over claims surrounding renewable energy.

The current national spokesperson for the Clean Energy Council took exception to comments previously made by Hardgrave regarding who funds the council.

“Fully subsidised [by the government], Gary? … So ASX-listed companies and multinationals are surviving off subsidies. Are they? … Gary, I thought you were an education minister once upon a time. Might be time to go back to school and do a little bit of homework,” he said.

“Well, I’m very interested, Chris. But the second you start trying to pick on my academic qualifications, you start to lose your argument,” the 4BC Drive host said in response.
