CLIMATE CHANGE AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

The Hon. M. PARNELL (14:59): Does the minister accept that even the 9 per cent reduction in emissions that he talked about is completely inadequate for dealing with climate change in this critical decade for action?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:59): I invite the honourable member to reread what I said in the chamber yesterday and he will see the figures that I announced then. Of course, we need to make deeper cuts here and around the world, but South Australia is making a very good start.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Parnell.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
