My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Minister Farrell: Last week, the Treasurer delivered a keynote speech where he acknowledged:

… without more decisive action across all levels of government, working with investors, industry and communities, the energy transition could fall short of what the country needs.

And yet the government still hasn't announced a comprehensive or credible response to the US Inflation Reduction Act. What is the reason for the delay, and does the government accept that we are losing the race for capital?
