Treasury prepared a ministerial submission seeking the Treasurer's approval to submit the Treasury portfolio legislation bid for the 2025 Spring parliamentary sittings to the Prime Minister by 21 May 2025. The submission recommended that the Treasurer sign a letter to the Prime Minister and approve documentation for the Parliamentary Business Committee of Cabinet. The bid required certification that each proposed measure was necessary to implement government policy and could not be achieved administratively. Treasury committed to further consultation with the Treasurer's office before the sittings commenced to confirm bill names, packaging, order, and introduction timing, with any necessary adjustments to accommodate additional government decisions. The completed legislation bid statements were to be supplied directly to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet by the 21 May deadline.
