On behalf of the parliamentary secretary, I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Treasurer provides the following answer - (1) (a) Eighty-five. (b) One hundred and thirty-eight. (2) Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to this question in the available time frame due to the need to assess the current status of each of those 138 cases. It is therefore requested that the member place this question on notice to enable us to ensure an accurate response. (3) Action taken to recover the grant from ineligible applicants includes extension of time to pay arrangements, legal action or the lodgement of a memorial over the land title to secure the debt.
