Renewable Energy Targets

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): Supplementary, Mr Speaker: just for clarity, does the minister plan to legislate the 2027 renewable energy target that was announced a couple of weeks ago?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (14:43): Yes, sorry, I am happy to clarify that. When we first put this up for consultation, we had the original target and we have now informed people that we are revising that to the one that was 100 per cent by 2027.
