The question is to the environment minister. How can the government claim there was extensive due diligence before offering the foundation almost half a billion dollars when the government didn't contact the foundation, didn't go through all its annual reports and didn't know how much money the foundation had raised, and, as has been revealed today, the foundation has now had to contract out its fundraising plan to a consultant, which was the very issue that the government had claimed was its core expertise?
