JOBS — RENEWABLE
ENERGY
651. Hon TIM CLIFFORD to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I refer to the government's
promise to create 150 000 new jobs by 2023–24.
(1) Has the state
government conducted any analysis on the potential job generation that the
renewable industry could provide to the state?
(2) If yes, please table it; and,
if not, why not?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Although
the state government recognises the potential of the renewable industry to
increase job growth, no specific analysis has been undertaken on potential job
generation in this industry. The state government anticipates that the creation
of 150 000 new jobs will come from a range of different industries and
employment sectors, which may include the renewable industry sector.
