Micro Finance Fund

The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (14:53): A supplementary, Mr President: is the minister either able to provide today or take on notice the actual list of the independent experts and advise how they will be remunerated?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:54): I absolutely will take it on notice. Again, it is a very tricky question that has found me wanting. He is a very good member and I suspect it is his lawyery experience that finds me wanting for this. I will take that on notice and bring back a response. I suspect, though, it is a very large pool of people that can be called upon for informal advice and there would not be remuneration, but I will check that is the case.
