Sure. I expect that no commitments or anything like that will be made during the meeting, but I’d be able to gauge from their reaction to various propositions how well those are received (or not) which might give clues as to the likelihood of their adoption.Will you upload the discussion points and the feedback you're getting, after?

Having spent a career dealing with departmental staff and pollies, they are trained to not react, to not agree or disagree, and to make sure you walk away feeling like you’ve had some success even though there is none.Sure.

It will be also interesting to see just how much they have thought about these things and are already well across the stuff I will raise, or look at me blankly as if they’ve never thought about it.
While that’s true, it would also be good to know if decision makers have real world experience. Not sure that pollies live in the real world. Maybe @Vostok can suggest Kean buys a departmental car for staff testing.Having spent a career dealing with departmental staff and pollies, they are trained to not react, to not agree or disagree, and to make sure you walk away feeling like you’ve had some success even though there is none.
There are specific people with very high levels of training to deal with the public that they work for. Suggest you watch out ci for this standard response.
I deal with Federal Government departmental staff in my professional life on a reasonably frequent basis, some are better than others at either giving or withholding signals. Some have poor filters and tell me more than they should - if you ask the right questions. I expect State Government would be similar.Having spent a career dealing with departmental staff and pollies, they are trained to not react, to not agree or disagree, and to make sure you walk away feeling like you’ve had some success even though there is none.

The recently-released Federal Labor policy includes removing Fringe Benefits Tax when a business supplies an EV for an employee's use, which if implemented would work well with this NSW Government policy to further drive business purchase and leasing of EVs.Provide fleet incentives to help local councils, car leasing companies, car share companies and businesses buy electric vehicles. Fleet buyers purchase large numbers of vehicles at a time, their bulk purchasing power can also influence vehicle availability and helps to build the secondhand EV market in the future.
Completely agreeGrazing won't work unless there's a dramatic expansion in slow chargers, to match the dramatic expansion in EV sales.
Just about every house with an off-road car space can have a slow charger.Grazing won't work unless there's a dramatic expansion in slow chargers, to match the dramatic expansion in EV sales.
Matt Kean has specifically called out this issue, and expressed his disappointment that the Feds ignored it in their EV “strategy”. Mr. Kean is not afraid of calling out his colleagues in Canberra.The recently-released Federal Labor policy includes removing Fringe Benefits Tax when a business supplies an EV for an employee's use, which if implemented would work well with this NSW Government policy to further drive business purchase and leasing of EVs.

As predicted, I am not meeting with the Minister, but "The Treasurer has asked his Department to meet with you on his behalf" so that's pretty good. No date set yet.
”Meeting secured”
I am meeting with the head of the NSW Net-Zero Transport Team the week before Christmas. I have noted the extra topics mentioned here and will briefly cover them, although the meeting is only 30 minutes.
Yes, I do.Do you have strata reform on your list?
