My question relates to one that the minister took on notice a short while ago relating to item 7.2.3 in the final document of the Clean Energy Future proposal around planning for a 100 per cent renewable energy network and Western Australia's participation in that, given that we are not part of the National Electricity Market, through dint of being an island network and having another island network in the north-west. Does the minister have an update on that? I am just seeking to confirm that it was the government's intention and remains its intention that the 100 per cent renewable energy planning should apply to all large significant electricity networks in Australia, in which I certainly include at least those two in WA if not much smaller off-network systems, as well.
