I might ask the minister one quick question. Following on from what Senator Xenophon had to say, that there is over a billion dollars going to small business—which is something we would support seeing there is $24 billion going to the big polluters—has there been any adjustment made to the amount that was going to non-government organisations under the government’s original scheme? If so, what is it?
