Australia's top treasury official is taking five weeks leave to look after endangered wombats.
Ken Henry, treasury secretary and animal conservationist, has warned that hairy-nosed wombats are "on death row".
But opposition politicians - and even wombat lovers - question if now is the time to be thinking about wombats.
Inflation is at a 16-year high, interest rates are up and fuel prices are rising. Mr Henry will also miss a central bank meeting.

I heart wombats. Now I must scour the employee handbook to see if I, too, qualify for wombat leave.
Wheels. Are. Turning.
