I have a final question in relation to the grants. I looked to see in the guidelines the requirements for an Australian company with its substantive operations here. The guidelines don't talk about parent companies. I am wondering: Is it the intention of the minister to examine whether or not grant applicants have parent companies domiciled in tax havens in places like the Cayman Islands or Guernsey? Is that one of the checks the minister will conduct in respect of the grant applications?
