GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:35): </by> Yes, around $10 million, so almost half has been committed and agreed to in terms of project funding—either spent or committed to—and half remains in the fund. As the honourable member would be aware, as I have spoken about it in this place before and I know he has a keen interest in this area—he is one of the few opposite me who actually listens to my answers—that process of expressions of interest went out, and those applications are still being considered in terms of how the remaining funds will be allocated.</text>
