Mr CREAN (12:53 PM) —Minister, with respect, this is a serial pattern of incompetence by your department. There are underspends in every program area. Regional development does not get much in this country. It has its Regional Partnerships. Some are lucky enough to have access to Sustainable Regions. You have the Regional Medical Infrastructure Fund.


The DEPUTY SPEAKER —Does the member for Hotham have a question?


Mr CREAN —My question is: why does the minister allow programs announced by his government to so seriously fail in getting funds out to the people who need them?
