I
am providing this answer on behalf of the Minister for Emergency Services
representing the Minister for Environment , but, as Leader of the House,
can I say that is a lot of information requested in a four-hour turnaround
time.
(1)–(4) The
green jobs plan includes eight projects, delivered by four state government
entities. The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation is directly
delivering four of the projects.
It is not possible to compile
up-to-date responses to these questions within the time available. The member
is requested to put the question on notice.
