Thank you for the question . I am advised that there has been no consultation to date with Western Australian officials or ministers in relation to the 100 per cent renewable scenarios. The Standing Council on Energy and Resources, comprising the ministers from all states and territories, will be discussing the scenarios to be considered with AEMO. The process will include discussions with state and territory officials. And I am advised that the government remains happy to work with the Western Australian government on this issue.
