I thank the member for the question. It's a very important question, because we had a lot of work to do coming into government, cleaning up botched regional grant programs. We had regional grants given to the North Sydney pool. I'm not sure where the member for Gippsland was there, because I'm not sure how many members of your community—certainly none of mine—see North Sydney as a regional pool.
