by leave—I move the motion, as amended, standing in my name:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes that:

(i)

major flaws in the design of the Federal Government’s renewable energy target legislation have led to a dramatic drop in the price of renewable energy certificates and stalled investment in the renewable energy sector,

(ii)

the Federal Government was warned of these flaws by industry and the Opposition parties but chose to ignore these warnings, and

(iii)

the Federal Government’s failure to act is now threatening the financial viability of major renewable energy projects such as the Musselroe Bay Wind Farm project in north-east Tasmania; and

(b)

condemns the Government accordingly.
