Coal-fired power stations need to come back online to help ease the nation's energy crisis, Resources Minister Madeleine King says.
Amid soaring gas prices due to supply issues, Ms King says an immediate step would be for power station operators "to get moving on fixing their plants".
"In the very short term, what we really need to do is to have the coal power stations come back online because that is the missing piece of the puzzle right now," she told ABC radio on Tuesday.
