18th Oct 2021, 4:49 PM – Senate Regulations and Determinations - Australian Renewable Energy Agency (Implementing the Technology Investment Roadmap) Regulations 2021 - Disallow
Summary
EditThe same number of senators voted for and against the motion, which means it failed. The motion was to disallow a section of a regulation, which is parliamentary jargon for stopping that section from having legal force. Since this motion failed, the section will continue to be part of the law.
The section concerned priority low emissions technologies and, according to NSW Senator Jenny McAllister (Labor), is an attempt "to change the remit of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency [ARENA] so as to fund non-renewable technologies, without even passing the necessary legislation ... in another attempt to avoid scrutiny and undermine ARENA."
Motion text
That section 7 of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (Implementing the Technology Investment Roadmap) Regulations 2021, made under the Australian Renewable Energy Agency Act 2011, be disallowed [F2021L01043].
