This bill forms a key part of our Government's response to the climate emergency. I'd like to thank the Economic Development, Science and Innovation Committee for its consideration of the bill. I'd also like to acknowledge those who have made written and oral submissions, and I also want to thank the Hon Dr David Clark for his work on this bill. The committee considered 55 submission from industry groups and individuals, covering a range of matters. All submitters supported the policy intent of the bill. The committee has reported that key substantive decisions be retained, but have recommended some changes which will refine the policy intent of the bill. These changes will assist in bringing climate risks and resilience into the heart of financial and business decision-making.
