My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, isn’t it the case that the Australian company Roaring 40s, which is involved in the Chinese renewable energy project, abandoned $550 million of projects in South Australia and Tasmania because the government has not increased the mandatory rewable energy target? In fact, didn’t the company itself say, ‘Further substantial investment in the renewable energy industry is unlikely without an increase in the mandatory renewable energy target’?
