The answer to the honourable senator's question is as follows:
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Trust (the Trust) will report to donors on progress, including publishing information on activities on the Trust's website. In line with the Transparency Charter for the Australian aid program, AusAID will publish information about the Trust in a format that is useful and accessible on AusAID's website.
