The Government's keeping possible changes to the electric vehicle scheme on the down-low

Some in the sector are frustrated only a handful of groups have been consulted - but Simeon Brown says this isn't the case.

The Transport Minister had attempted and failed to urgently repeal the Clean Car Standard on Budget night.

Now the legislation's before the House.

Brown says it's better this is resolved by a minister - as opposed to Parliament or the public.

He says the standard has to be flexible and respond to market conditions.
