I indicate to the member for Fowler that, as she has been advised, we will not be supporting these amendments. There will be transparency around grants. There will be transparency around all of the things that Housing Australia funds. We have been clear about the fact that we want to make sure that there are reports about what is being funded through the disbursements that will come each year under the fund. I don't think there is a need to review it after two years—we do think that it needs time to be up and running—but there will be transparency along the way through Housing Australia publishing the list of where things are going and through the government and relevant ministers also publishing it.
