Mr BARBER (Northern Metropolitan) — My question is for the Deputy Leader of the Government representing the Leader of the Government representing the Treasurer. The question is: could the Treasurer detail to the house the Victorian taxpayers exposure to fossil fuel investments via the state-owned investment arm, the Victorian Funds Management Corporation?
[Speech was interrupted.]
Mr BARBER (Northern Metropolitan) — I thank the minister for passing that on. While we support the government's moves to provide more encouragement for renewable energy, could the minister also provide some information to the house about what steps the government will be taking to disinvest in companies that explore for, develop or produce fossil fuels?
