AnswerView source ↗
I will hold my words, and I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The Office of Energy receives periodic reports from Synergy and Horizon Power about the feed-in tariff—the phenomenally successful feed-in tariff, I have to say. The most recent reports are being finalised and verified. I will respond as soon as I have received the detailed information requested. Therefore, do not put the question on notice; I will give the answer to the member as soon as the next report comes in. Hon Kate Doust : What about the rest of the question? Hon Peter Collier : That will answer all of it.
