Carbon Neutral Adelaide

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:11): Supplementary question arising out of the minister's first answer: given the minister has conceded that the target for Melbourne is 2019, does he accept that his target—

The Hon. I.K. Hunter: I don't think I did concede that.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: Yes, you did say that. Does he accept that the target for Adelaide has to be earlier than 2019?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:12): What a pathetic contribution from a pathetic and failed former Liberal treasurer who is trying to work on dates—

The Hon. S.G. Wade interjecting:

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Well, if the honourable member knows me particularly well at all he will know that I get very irritable when I have to face the concept of travel—but that's just my personal problem. But, again, I invite the honourable member to actually embrace a challenge; embrace ambition for a change. For once in your life, why don't you actually embrace stretch targets?

Members interjecting:

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: The problem with that is that when they embrace stretch targets they actually have to work a little bit; they actually have to do a bit of hard work. They actually have to go out to the community and talk to them about what their ambitions are and try and unite communities around a common goal. That's not the strength of the Liberal Party. This is a party made up of individuals, individuals who can't work together. They can't work together. You only have to look at what they've done in terms of the revolving door around leadership to work out that they actually can't work together to save themselves and, goodness knows, they certainly can't work together to run a government.
