SOLAR ENERGY REBATE SCHEME

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:33): My question is to the Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy. What representations has the government made to the commonwealth in relation to its decision to means test the solar rebate scheme, and what analysis has been done on the impact of the take-up in South Australia?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy) (14:34): It is with great pleasure that I take my first question in relation to this portfolio responsibility. However, I will need to refer this to the minister in another place and bring back adequate detail.
