QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Leader of the Nationals) (14:29): My question is for the Minister for Finance, Senator Gallagher. Minister, Labor's export finance agency has guaranteed $250 million for an Indian government owned corporation to fund renewable projects in India. At Senate estimates, officials confirmed that there is no direct Australian company involvement in these projects.

Why is Labor financing foreign government owned renewable projects instead of Australian exports and jobs?
