Venture Capital Fund

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): I have a supplementary question: how many people or companies were interviewed for the position of fund manager for the venture capital fund?

The Hon. K.J. 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) (14:27): I don't have the exact number. I believe it is in the order of one or two dozen different groups or individuals who were interviewed to be the fund manager. If it is wildly different from that I am happy to bring back a response.
