Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question—and perhaps we could look at this from a different perspective. Is the minister aware that Commonwealth funds that are also being given to the program run by the Queensland Rural Adjustment Authority—that promises low-interest loans of up to $250,000 to small businesses affected by the floods—have eligibility requirements that are so ambiguous and so onerous that many small businesses that desperately need the help are simply not bothering to apply? Would you talk about the KPIs there please, minister.
