You would know that is now a matter that goes directly to the grant, which is actually administered by another portfolio. I understand that you don't like this foundation. You do not like the fact that the government is in partnership with the foundation, but at the end of the day a robust grant agreement setting out the terms of the partnership arrangement is being negotiated by the foundation. The grant agreement will be made consistent with the Commonwealth Grants Rules and Guidelines and the requirements of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. You may not like it, but that is a fact. In relation to the actual grant, it is administered by another portfolio.
