Generators

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:57): Supplementary, sir: is the Treasurer really telling the house that the emissions from these diesel generators will be at an acceptable level because he doesn't expect to use them?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (14:57): That is not what I said at all; that is not what I said at all. What I said—

Mr Gardner interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Morialta is warned for the second and final time.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: —is that the opposition is setting a new standard now for emission acceptability of generators. I will inform AGL of the opposition's new policy as we are heading into the election about what they want to do for emissions out of Torrens Island, out of Osborne, out of Pelican Point, and we will see what those emissions are and I will come to the shadow minister and we will see if he stands by his comments.
