Yes, it was a fair question. The very diligent public servant said, 'Yes, Senator,'—still no answer. They either didn't do the consultation or they don't like the results of the consultation.

On the question of decarbonisation across government, you would think this would be one that they would want to answer. My question is: Can you tell me who is the lead department on the electric vehicle strategy and the road user charges, please? Is it all in PM&C? Is it Minister Bowen? Is it Minister King? Please tell me who is in charge of the transport policy area in respect to decarbonisation. I shouldn't be surprised this one wasn't answered, because the government has no idea of who is in charge of what. We have had Minister King being overruled by the Prime Minister on what is in and out of the infrastructure review. For these guys, the confusion about who is doing what and where goes on and on and on.
