My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Ayres. In August 2023, the government allocated $3 billion to energy transition projects in WA under the Rewiring the Nation program. It was reported earlier this month by the ABC that this money has sat idle for two years, with none of that money allocated to any projects as of yet. Why has the government allowed two years to pass without allocating a single dollar of the $3 billion committed to WA's clean energy transition, despite your stated support for net zero?
