Yes, I was going on some of the budget questions there as well. But, as I said yesterday in answer to the question by Senator McKenzie, the minister, Catherine King, has written to state and territory counterparts to convey the expectation that any information regarding improper or criminal conduct by any entities related to projects delivered under the National Land Transport Act 2014 be reported immediately to the relevant regulator. The minister has embedded new assurances and protections in the federation funding agreement that the Commonwealth has negotiated with the states, which was finalised on 11 August.
