The document concerns preparation of ministerial briefing materials on the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, with materials being coordinated across DCCEEW and the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications (DITRDCA). Email exchanges from February 2024 show staff discussing tight deadlines for delivering briefing documentation to Minister Bowen, with a Cabinet submission scheduled (reference s47C) and Minister King to receive submission and briefing by the weekend. The communications indicate coordination challenges, with DITRDCA still conducting media content testing until end of business and unable to deliver their submission and ministerial brief until Sunday. Most substantive content has been redacted under cabinet privilege provisions (s47F, s22, s34(2)), limiting visibility into the actual policy analysis, environmental impacts or scientific advice underpinning the efficiency standard proposal.
