I am happy to provide the information that I have here. From what I can see, across the category of defence there is nothing. But I do want to remind people listening to this debate that funds that are distributed through the PPFs can only be given to organisations that have deductible gift recipient status. There is a register of those organisations already on the tax office website. Most of those are charities, unless they are linked to government. The tax expenditure for 2007-08 against gifts to deductible gift recipient status organisations was $210 million.
