The Greens have made a claim today that this whole fund has been set up as a slush fund for the National Party to fund their corporations and their big mates. Can the government give me assurance about where this money will be spent—where the $100 million a year that we put into the fund will be going—and of the accountability of this fund? I don't think the Australian people would be very happy if it was a slush fund for the National Party. The people of Australia have the right to know exactly where the money is going and who it will benefit and help.
