My question is to the Minister for Resources and Energy. Minister, the proposed HRL coal fired power station in the Latrobe Valley will have a pollution intensity similar to a black coal fired power station and will pump out over two million tonnes of pollution a year. Given we are now all moving to put a price on pollution and the Victorian EPA has refused to give full approval to the coal fired station, will the government now withdraw the $100 million in funding flagged by the Howard government but not yet handed over to the company?
