I just have a couple of other items. There is an item in the budget papers on enhancing Australia’s regional engagement. The government is providing $106 million over four years, including $13.8 million in capital funding for fit-outs. I understand that, but it is to enhance Australia’s diplomatic engagement with India, Pakistan, Africa and Latin America. Is the parliamentary secretary able to give details of how that funding will be allocated amongst the nations and continents so described in that item in the budget papers?
