I invite Senator Carr, through you, Mr President, to answer the question. I refer the minister to the case of Vigil Systems, in the Prime Minister’s own electorate, who were told on the day before the budget by the minister’s own department that their grant application for the development of a high-tech product designed to reduce the road toll was approved, bar the final dot on an ‘i’. The next day, budget day, they were told the project would not go ahead. Will the minister commit to funding this application and others which were considered and approved for funding between 28 April and 13 May?
