My question is to the and , Senator McKenzie. I refer to Senator McKenzie's statements this week defending her oversight of discretionary grants programs. The minister has previously told the Senate, in relation to the Community Sport Infrastructure Grant Program:

The Prime Minister did not have a role in authorising projects during the three rounds … and the final decision-maker was me.

Can the minister explain how, on the eve of the last federal election, her approved project list was changed at the request of the Prime Minister's office without her knowledge?
