Carbon Neutral Adelaide

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:13): Supplementary: given the minister's reference to stretch targets, what is the minister's stretch target? Is it 2018?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:13): The stretch target is for Adelaide to become the world's first carbon neutral city. Come and join us! Come and join us! Get on the wagon and get into the competition with us! Get out there and stir up people to challenge this, to drive innovation in this state. Why won't you get on the positive bandwagon and actually help us get there? Instead, no, you want to—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: These guys are a joke, these guys are an absolute joke. But what more do you expect from people who have just nothing but negativity in their bones, and they just can't be bothered engaging with ambitious targets? The level of their ambition is evident over there: they are stuck in opposition where they have been for the last 15 years, and will be stuck in opposition for the future, and this is all they've got: 'Give us a date.' How pathetic. How pathetic is that? Get on board with us, join the competition, help us get there; we will be first.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ngo.
