When Hockey appeared on Lateline on Wednesday and said the opposition was considering axing the Department of Climate Change, it was no thought bubble. The idea had been accepted in principle at a meeting on Monday.
The climate change spokesman, Greg Hunt, was in the middle of a charity walk around his electorate, so the submission was put forward by Hunt's proxy, Simon Birmingham.
The idea is that axing the department and folding it back in with the Environment Department would save money and the Coalition's own direct-action policy could be administered by Treasury and Environment.
