State Energy Plan

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:27): My questions are to the Leader of the Government. What is the expected lifespan of the batteries proposed under the government's energy plan, and what is the forecasted cost to replace them at the end of that life?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:28): I thank the honourable member for his questions and his ever-increasing ability to confuse and misunderstand just about everything that he asks questions about. There is an expression of interest going out. That is why you have these things, to test the market about what the parameters might be.
