21049 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Forestry: What evidence base, including any business cases, pilot results, productivity studies, benchmark data, or independent advice, was relied upon in determining that AI could absorb the workload of the roles being disestablished as part of savings made in Budget 2026 for votes the Minister is responsible for and deliver the forecast savings, if any, broken down by agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible, if any?

Hon Todd McClay: I refer the Member to the response to WPQ 21332 (2026).
