35344 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Climate Change: What advice, if any, did the Minister receive in "BRF-5763 - Briefing: Further advice on scope and process for a 2025 Climate Change Response Amendment Bill" that discussed reducing roles, functions, tasks, delegations, responsibilities of the Climate Change Commission, and what specific roles, functions, tasks, delegations or responsibilities, if any, were discussed to be reduced?

Hon Simon Watts: This briefing provided me with initial advice on a scope of work to streamline the requirements in the Climate Change Response Act 2002. It did not include any advice about reducing roles, functions, tasks, delegations or responsibilities of the Climate Change Commission.
