CARBON EMISSIONS — WESTERN AUSTRALIA
618. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Environment:
I refer to an article published by
ABC online news titled ''WA has no hope of achieving net zero emissions
targets by 2050 without radical change, secret government report finds''.
(1) Will the
minister release the October 2023 modelling, given that its contents have
already been shared in media reports; and, if not, why not?
(2) Is the
modelling available through other public channels?
(3) Is it
acceptable to delay publishing the projections for two years?
(4) Did the modelling results inform the government's
decision not to release a 2030 emissions reduction target?
