Hydrogen Sector

Mr PATTERSON (Morphett) (15:21): My question is for the Minister for Energy and Mining. Will the government commit that the experimental 200 megawatt hydrogen fuel power station will use combined cycle turbines?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order: standing order 97, the term 'experimental' is argument.

The SPEAKER: I am inclined on this occasion to allow the question. Member for Morphett, please put the question again and I will listen carefully.
