 Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) presented a petition bearing 2805 signatures:

The petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council to the Allan Government's decision to bail out the defunct Delburn Wind Farm using SEC Victoria and taxpayer funds, after costs ballooned from $320 million to $700 million and private investors abandoned the high bushfire risk project.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to immediately cancel the Delburn Wind Farm and reverse the SEC Victoria funding, due to a clear conflict of interest and unacceptable bushfire and financial risks.

Melina BATH: As this is a petition qualifying for debate under standing order 11.03(10), I give notice that I intend to move ‘That the petition be taken into consideration’ on Wednesday of next sitting week.
