Ms Laurena Leacy:

The stakeholders we initially engaged with in the context of the general scheme were those who will be directly impacted by the contribution. The Senator is correct. That is who we approached first. The next stage, on how proceeds will be distributed will be the subject of a Government decision in the coming months. The Department is engaging with other Departments. We are the head on the steering group for an energy poverty steering committee, so there will be discussions on how those proceeds will be distributed. The stakeholder engagement the Senator referred to is not part of this work. That is the next job we will be undertaking.
