Emissions targets
368. Hon Sophie McNeill to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Energy and Decarbonisation:
I refer to the
Deloitte report released yesterday, commissioned by Woodside Energy, that
suggests WA will miss its net zero by 2050 target by up to a decade.
(1) Is the modelling contained in this
report consistent with the government's and, if not, what is different?
(2) Can the government rule out approving
any new gas fields now it is clear the state is already at risk of not meeting
2050 net zero targets?
