CORONAVIRUS — RENEWABLE ENERGY
415. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the
Minister for Energy:
My question without notice is asked
on behalf of Hon Tim Clifford, who is out of the Parliament on urgent
parliamentary business.
An economic recovery focused on net
zero transition, renewable energy and green manufacturing has been touted by
leading economists, academics and industry groups, including the Australian
Industry Group and leading economist Ross Garnaut, as the best way forward
following the COVID-19 pandemic.
(1) Will the
state government be taking advantage of WA's plentiful renewable
resources and record low interest rates to
support investment in renewable energy in WA to kickstart the COVID-19 economic
recovery?
(2) How does the state government plan to foster green
manufacturing and renewable energy in its COVID-19 recovery plan?
(3) What financial support has the McGowan government
given to the renewable energy sector and low-c arbon industries during
the COVID-19 pandemic?
