5 FUNDS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY
The order of the day having been read for the resumption of the debate on the motion of Mr Bandt—That this House:
(1) notes that:
(a) HRL Limited was awarded a $100 million grant in 2007 by the Coalition Government under the Low Emissions Technology Demonstration Fund;
(b) to date, HRL Limited has been unable to meet the pre-conditions of the grant, and no money has been dispersed;
(c) the grant would facilitate the building of a new coal fired power plant, contradicting the current Prime Minister’s statement that no new dirty coal fired power plants will be built in Australia;
(d) there are a number of low emission renewable technologies that deserve government support; and
(e) the Australian community strongly supports public funds being used to support the development of renewable technologies; and
(2) calls on the Government to immediately withdraw the grant offer to HRL Limited and allocate the $100 million to the Australian Renewable Energy Authority ( see item No. 3, Votes and Proceedings )—
Debate resumed.
The time allotted for the debate having expired, the debate was interrupted, and the resumption of the debate made an order of the day for the next sitting.
