My question is to the Treasurer. Can the Treasurer please advise the House how many local councils across Australia are exposed to financing arrangements linked to overseas subprime mortgage securities or distressed lending institutions? What will be the impact of this exposure on local government rates, charges, services and infrastructure projects?
