When Tony Abbott's Coalition government came to power in late 2013 and he declared the nation to be open for business again, the nation's corporate sector looked forward to a significant and much-needed burst of policy reform. 
Unfortunately, this week's events confirm how that initial confidence disappointed. This is especially true in the energy sector, where the lack of coherent policy direction has bedevilled the whole industry.
Over 16 weeks, The Australian Financial Review's Australia's Energy Future series, in partnership with GE, has encouraged industry and government to find a durable policy direction. We have endeavoured to invite everyone into the energy debate in a bid to develop a consistent energy vision for the future.
Like much of the nation's economy, the energy sector needs a predictable policy framework that is strong enough to adapt as necessary to this period of unprecedented global technological change.
There is no doubt Australia is an acknowledged global energy leader in a number of sectors, such as coal and LNG. Moreover, our geography and climate provide us with almost limitless access to renewable energy, sources such as solar and wind power. Yet we are in danger of squandering this advantage if we don't get some policy stability and a clear strategy for the future from government.
This is what Australian business and the energy industry, along with taxpayers and voters, will want from the Turnbull government.
