Climate change

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (16:00): I have a supplementary question arising out of the answer. Does the minister support government departments and agencies within the carbon neutral Adelaide region purchasing green power?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (16:00): I just made it very plain that we will be looking at all of the options that are available to us and we will be talking to those players who want to combine with government to achieve these very important outcomes. We will be looking at everything that is available. We want to grow industry, investment and jobs in this new world of climate change adaptation. We want to look at how we can drive new investment in green industries, and the investment from government will be dictated around where we get the best bang for our buck in terms of driving economic development in our economy and getting more jobs in this new future of green industries.
