The business growth fund is open to all ADIs and the Australian Business Securitisation Fund, which you would also be familiar with, is there to support lending by those smaller banks. More importantly, as I said in my last answer, the proposal was in fact provided to COBA members in February 2019—and perhaps they're still down the end of the corridor in the back of the safe—and the Bank of Queensland and Rabobank also participated in the BGF working group.
