My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday the environment minister said there was extensive due diligence before the Prime Minister offered a small private foundation almost half a billion dollars in taxpayers' money in a closed-door meeting on 9 April. Today the foundation's CEO explained that no-one in the foundation was contacted and she wasn't even aware there was a due diligence process underway. Could the Prime Minister now give us three minutes detailing the extensive due diligence that his minister referred to?
