What I was talking about was the fact that there has been much scrutiny of these sorts of programs during estimates and I have every suspicion that, if we look at the transcripts, we will see that these questions were probably asked. These questions may have been taken on notice and will have been answered or will be answered on notice. Now, if they weren't and they need to be, I'll bring any details I can back to the chamber.

But the GO LOCAL FIRST campaign is about providing encouragement to consumers to shop locally, to support their local small businesses, to ensure the viability of those small businesses and to strengthen economic activity in the local economy and community. That's what this sort of program is doing, and I would have thought that those on the other side would champion and support it.
