QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator PATERSON (Victoria) (14:15): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. At Senate estimates on 26 May this year, infrastructure department officials disclosed that they obtained the list of invitation-only projects for funding under the Major and Local Community Infrastructure Program from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

Has either the Prime Minister or his office raised his commitment to provide $6 million to the Marrickville golf club with the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, and, if so, was this commitment raised prior to his department providing the list of projects to the infrastructure department?
