I don't have that information to hand. Unsurprisingly, I would have to go and see if there is any information that I can provide to Senator Hanson, which I am happy to. Sometimes, if people give a heads-up when they have a question that is that specific, we can prepare so that we are able to answer in more detail than I can at the moment. I accept there is a level of interest from Senator Hanson, and I am not in a position to answer that today with any information that has been provided to me.

I don't think it's unusual. The Commonwealth does provide a range of funding through the NIAA, the National Indigenous Advancement Strategy, and it may be through other arrangements that you referred to in relation to native title, whether it is through the Attorney-General's portfolio, to support organisations pursuing native title claims. As to the specifics, I would have to come back to Senator Hanson on that, and I will see there is anything I can provide.
