I thank the minister for admitting that, after four years, only about $40 million has actually been released by the NAIF—an average of less than around $10 million per year. Is the minister concerned that at this rate it will take her 500 years to distribute the NAIF's total funding of $5 billion? Is this why, across northern Australia, people refer to the NAIF as the 'No Actual Infrastructure Fund'?
