Senator WONG (South Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (15:02): I seek leave to make a short statement of no more than one minute. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator WONG: In question time today Senator Canavan answered a question and stated, in response to Senator McLucas, 'I have never suggested that the renewable energy target should be scrapped, as you suggest in that question.' In an Australian opinion piece of 19 August 2014, Senator Canavan wrote: As an economically damaging protectionist policy, the RET should be removed. I would ask the minister to correct the record.
