SenateMonday 3 November 2025

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (15:33): I think it's interesting that Senator Colbeck is asking this question, because I remember Senator Colbeck calling for the approval of the Robbins Island wind farm in Tasmania, so I thought Senator Colbeck was a supporter of renewables, but maybe he's now falling into line with the National Party led coalition to oppose net zero and oppose renewables.

Senator Colbeck's question goes to matters prior to me taking on this role. I can't shed any further light in answer to his question. The PRESIDENT: Senator Colbeck, first supplementary?
