I tried to clarify those figures with you before, but unfortunately you weren't able to, so I seek some more clarity on whether the quantum of increased funding for support services that you would intend for the Bundaberg and Hinkler region would reflect the community's desire for funding for the homeless, domestic violence shelters, education pathways and job creation for young people, or whether that's just lip service to cover the fact that you want to paternalistically tell people what to do with their money.
