SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:40):</by>  I can advise the honourable member that that's the usual circumstance. With the Regional Growth Fund, as it was previously known under the previous government, funds are allocated and rolled over as needed. It is also worth noting, though, that often funds will be allocated but won't necessarily be expended in that financial year, because they will be staged processes—for example, for the construction of facilities. So in terms of future questioning, the member might just want to be particularly cognisant of the exact wording so that I can ensure that I am giving her the answer that she is seeking.</text>
