The parliamentary secretary says that, taking into account energy efficiency, we will have doubled our energy consumption by 2030 and tripled it by 2050. These are frightening figures. Can the parliamentary secretary tell the committee what the greenhouse gas emission outcome scenarios for 2030 and 2050 coming from those figures will be for Australia compared to the 1990 level, which is the benchmark for the Kyoto protocol?
