My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator Watt. Figures released over the weekend show that renewable energy in Australia edged right up to 50 per cent of the national energy market for the month of October. This follows the figures in September, which was the first month in which renewables provided more electricity than coal. The Albanese Labor government's policies are obviously encouraging uptake in the cheapest and cleanest form of power generation. How many renewable projects have been approved since the government was elected in May 2022?
