RENEWABLE ENERGY TARGET
I refer to the Labor Party’s 2005 election policy on energy that states that the government will finalise by mid-2006 a renewable energy strategy, including a renewable energy target for 2020, and the fact that in contrast with the Liberal Party, the government is opposing a bill that would require 20 per cent of electricity to come from renewable energy sources by 2020. What is the government’s renewable energy target for 2020? Mr F.M. LOGAN

It is amazing how green the Liberals have suddenly become. We did not hear a peep out of them in our first term - the first five years of Labor government in power. We heard nothing on renewable energy. We did not see or hear of any policy. We did not hear any statements. There were not even any questions on renewable power. However, with a federal election coming up next year and the Prime Minister taking a keen interest in environmental and energy matters, we suddenly get questions from the opposition about renewable power. We suddenly get a policy. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! Mr F.M. LOGAN : For the past five years they have been a policy-free zone. We were told this morning that they have a policy on renewable power and that the policy is 20 per cent renewable power by 2020. I would like to have a look at that policy. I would like to see how the opposition will deliver it. Our policy, which we took to the state election in 2005, was to deliver six per cent renewable energy by 2010. We are on target to achieve that. We are also in the process of developing a policy for renewable energy and renewable power by 2020. That policy will be released very soon. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the members for Perth and Dawesville to order.
