At question time earlier today when questioning the Minister for Sport I referred to the Treasury modelling of the government’s emissions trading scheme and in particular table 6.14, whereas my question ought to have referred to table 6.15.
I would like to confirm now that, according to the government’s own Treasury modelling, the Nottinghill Pinewood Tennis Club in Victoria faces a 23 per cent increase in electricity costs by 2015 and a 30 per cent increase in electricity costs by 2020, thanks to the government’s ETS. However, according to the Prime Minister’s press release of 4 May 2009, and despite comments by the Minister for Sport, only $80 million of the $200 million Climate Change Action Fund will be available to assist business and community organisations with capital investment grants. I once again call on the minister to correct the record.
Debate interrupted.
