MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:47):</by>  In the development of the gig city project, there have been dozens and dozens of people who have contributed ideas and involvement, and certainly I have met Mr Hajdu a number of times. He is in Australia on a distinguished talent visa and has been providing his ideas as dozens and dozens of others have been. I will check. I am not aware, in the development of the gig city project, that he has been employed as a consultant, but I will double-check that for the honourable member.</text>
