26417 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Energy: What new spending initiatives or Budget bids, if any, did the Minister or their agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible, submit for Budget 2026, listed by title, amount sought, and whether each was funded in full, funded in part, or declined, as at 5 Junt 2026?

Hon Simeon Brown: EECA: EECA did not submit any bids for Budget 26. EA: The Authority asked for and received a net increase in appropriation for 2026/27 of $0.3m as part of Budget 2026. The Authority does not participate in the typical Crown Budget process. Instead, the Authority engaged in its annual levy consultation process, inviting submissions from industry participants before submitting its funding request to the Minister. MBIE: I refer the Member to the Minister for Economic Growth’s answer to written parliamentary question 26590 (2026).
