I thank Senator Georgiou for the question and for some notice of it. Senator Georgiou, I am instructed that the government does not seek to favour the provision of grants to any state or territory. In relation to the allocation of the $7.6 million to the New South Wales government that you raised, I am advised that the $7.6 million principally concerns taxation treatment for superannuation. Should the Western Australian government feel that there are similar issues that apply to Western Australian police, the government will look at the issue. The government is, of course, committed to keeping all Australians safe. If I can provide you with any further information in relation to your question, I will do so.
