My question is to the Treasurer. The Headstone Project undertakes valuable work identifying unmarked graves of World War I veterans and provides them with a modest headstone. A request for deductible gift recipient status by Headstone Project South Australia was denied last December despite its Tasmanian counterpart receiving GDR status in 2020. An appeal regarding the DGR status was lodged last month. As Treasurer, will you support the Headstone Project South Australia and overturn this decision?

The member for McEwen will leave the chamber under 94(a). To be interjecting during a question is highly disorderly. The Treasurer has the call.

The member for McEwen then left the chamber.

I thank the member for Mayo for her question. I undertake to her that I'll have another look at the most recent application that's been made. The truth is we get many more applications than we can afford to fund. We do our best, working closely with Assistant Minister Leigh, to work out how we impose some sort of order and some sort of priority on those. But if there's been some kind of obvious issue here with this one then I am obviously happy to take another look.
