Automotive Transformation Scheme

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:11): By way of supplementary question, when the minister gives grants to companies, such as the ones he has outlined, does he include in the grant agreements jobs targets and requirements and, if so, are there clawback provisions if the job requirements are not met?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:12): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question. I do not have all the details of exactly what are included in the grants. There are a lot of conditions included in many grants about what is expected from companies in relation to performing once they are given grants. I will seek the exact nature of these particular grants and bring back a reply for the honourable member.
