In respect of round two of the On-Farm Water Efficiency Program:

(1) On what grounds was Irrigation Efficiency Partners Pty Ltd deemed eligible for funding of $32 million.

(3) Is it a fact that an organisation is ineligible if it includes 'organisations which directly supply or install irrigation equipment'.

(4) Do any of the partners of the company (in part 1) supply or install irrigation equipment, and is it a fact that the company received its ABN number only days before tenders closed.
