Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Does the Minister agree with introducing "options to manage first mover disadvantage for new connections to local lines, including claw back rules to allow first movers such as new EV charging stations that pay 100% of the upfront cost of lines upgrades) to recover a share of those costs from future connections to that infrastructure", and if so, what advice, reports, briefings, aides-memoire, or any other documents has the Minister, or any member of their Office received since 27 November 2023, on this, by title and date?

Hon Andrew Bayly: The Government intends to deliver all commitments in the coalition agreements and associated manifesto commitments.
