I thank the member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(2)
It is the state government's view that the development of mitigation
policies will most appropriately occur at the national level. Design and
implementation of measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions, including support
for new low-emission technology, are the responsibility of the Australian
government and the federal Parliament.
