I hear the member for Oxley. The council has said:

The federal government, through its RE legislation and Office of Renewable Energy Regulator requires that electrical workers are accredited through the Clean Energy Council where Renewable Energy Certificates are claimed.

It is important that the government maintain the highest safety standards. This should always be the first priority and there have been serious problems with their approach in the past. However, it is also important that they show understanding of how the industry works.

I advise the House that I have written to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency and asked him to look into this matter on behalf of my constituent.
