I refer to the Granville wind farm project that has the potential to employ 200 people on Tasmania's west coast. Is the minister aware of the comments by Westcoast Wind Director, Royce Smith, who said that the uncertainty around the RET review has 'got a few investors a bit shy at the moment because it's a bit hard to invest money if you don't know what the outcome is going to be'. Won't abolishing the renewable energy target undermine, rather than create, jobs on Tasmania's west coast?
