Micro Finance Fund

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (14:57): Supplementary, Mr President. The minister mentioned a threshold of $50,000; can he clarify whether that is the maximum amount of the government's contribution or is that the maximum amount of the entrepreneurs' contribution, thereby meaning the government could contribute up to $100,00?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:57): I can clarify: that is the maximum contribution the government will make. So, the grants are a government contribution of up to $50,000. That is the maximum contribution from the government.
