I thank the Leader of the
Opposition for some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Yes.
(3)–(4) Decisions
made at the 2018–19 midyear review process have provided Keystart with
sufficient lending capacity for the medium term, with the government exploring
a range of opportunities to maintain Keystart's lending capacity across
the forward estimates. This may include options to re-engage with the market to
pursue further equitable assignments or access to other sources of capital.
