          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31):</by>  I have a final supplementary. Can the minister outline what, if any, targets exist for the Early Commercialisation Fund and the process? Can you tell us how many jobs the fund could create or what the target is for the number of jobs that this fund will create?</text>

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) (14:31):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. There are a number of different programs we have that have different names. This is, as the name suggests, to commercialise technology in very early stages. I think there are figures somewhere—I don't have them in front of me—as to the 24 recipients so far, how many jobs are currently in those companies and how many are projected from those first 24 companies. I don't have them in front of me, but I am happy to bring those particular figures back.</text>
