Senator WHITEAKER (Western Australia) (14:50): My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator Watt. Yesterday the Minister for Climate Change and Energy announced further support for renewable energy projects, delivering on a commitment the Albanese Labor government made to the Australian people at the last election. In order to achieve our ambitious target for renewable energy generation, environmental approvals need to keep pace with this rollout. How are timely approvals from the minister's department supporting our nation's goal of achieving net zero by 2050?
