Regional Partnerships Program

My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. Why did the minister tell David Koch of the Sunrise program that he did not realise how many community groups were affected by Labor’s budget decision to abolish Regional Partnerships? Given the budget announcement of a week earlier, why did the minister also tell Mr Koch that it had only just come to his attention that some really good community projects had been scrapped and they were now re-examining them? Minister, what have you been doing in the last six months?
