My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Energy, Senator Birmingham. On Monday, Minister Frydenberg said in relation to the government's grant of almost half a billion dollars in taxpayers' money to a small private foundation that his department had undertaken a 'first phase of due diligence' which looked at the foundation's 'fundraising history'. Can the minister advise the Senate exactly how much the private foundation has raised from corporate or private sources over its entire history?
