My question is to the Prime Minister. Could the Prime Minister detail approximately what proportion of this parliament building’s power supply comes from clean, green energy? Are there any plans to install solar panels, especially on the extensive sloping lawns of the complex, to offset energy use, supply clean solar energy to the grid and send a positive message to Australians on the advantages of clean and readily available alternative energy options?

In reply to the member for Calare, the executive government does not control this building, as the member should well know. I will refer his inquiry to the Presiding Officers.
