I thank the Minister for Superannuation and Corporate Law for providing the answer to the second question. The first question goes to the reporting obligations of the people coordinating these large transfers of funds from the Commonwealth to the states. We know that in the schedule to the IGA the government has acknowledged that energy and water efficiency play a huge part in the long-term affordability of housing and so too do access to public transport, services, sources of employment and so on and that these developments will be targeted for the public housing spend. What I am interested to know is how this will be reported. Will it be reported to the minister or, indeed, to the parliament and on what basis? How are you benchmarking such issues as access to public transport? How are you benchmarking energy and water efficiency? How will the parliament be informed of progress and whether you are meeting the targets that you have set?
