My question as to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts. Trove, the National Library of Australia's online platform, provides one of the world's largest digital archives of local history but its funding is set to expire in June. This news is causing concern among historians, family researchers and students. Will the government commit to funding Trove beyond June and will you commit to keeping its status free for all Australians?
