26566 (2023). Hon Priyanca Radhakrishnan to the Minister of Climate Change: Does the Minister intend to “support wetland rehabilitation by consider including wetlands in the ETS so land owners who establish new wetlands will earn ETS credits for the carbon stored in their wetlands” as outlined in the National Party’s ‘Blueprint for a Better Environment’ document, and if so, what advice, reports, briefings, aide memoires, or any other documents has the Minister, or any member of their Office received during the week of 27 November 2023, on this by title and date?

Hon Simon Watts: I am not responsible for a political party’s manifesto. I intend to progress the priorities outlined in the Speech from the Throne and the coalition agreements that are relevant to my portfolio. I have not received advice on this topic from officials during the timeframe specified.
