My question is to the Leader of the Government, representing the Prime Minister. Minister, the chairman's panel of the Great Barrier Reef Foundation is made up of a who's who of the coal, oil and gas industry. The other thing that is common to these companies is the number of them that are Liberal and National Party donors. Collectively, the companies represented on the foundation have donated well over $10 million to the Liberal and National parties. Minister, how else can you explain the Prime Minister giving away nearly half a billion dollars of public money to these companies, completely unsolicited and without a tender process, other than as a thank you for their extraordinarily generous donations to your party?
