I will ask the minister again: to the best of his knowledge, given that he has just declared he has no knowledge of the contingency reserve, has money been allocated for a replacement—in any form or anywhere—for the Aurora Australis? In addition, I want to refer to Caring for our Country. Budget Paper No. 2, on page 256, indicates that the Caring for our Country program has lost $141.5 million over five years. What sections of the program will bear that loss? What regions will bear that loss? Are there any plans to re-fund the SeaNet program, which by general acclamation has been extremely successful but which is due to run out of funding and which has no sight of further funding as of 30 June?
