The Green Car Innovation Fund will direct $1.3 billion in tax payer dollars, and is relevant not only to manufacturers, but also car buyers both in the community and across business including commercial fleet operators. Customers must be broadly consulted as a part of achieving the best outcome for this expenditure. Further, Universities and other parties interested in research and development in Western Australia will also be disadvantaged by this arrangements. 

Originally, consultation sessions were scheduled to the first week of February in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, but with no consultations advertised for Perth. WA SEA raised the matter up with AusIndustry arranged for a consultation session in Perth. the following week.
