NRF still without an impact framework more than a year on
The Albanese Labor Government’s flagship $15 billion National Reconstruction Fund (NRF) remains without a finalised impact framework, despite over $650 million already being invested.
Mr HAWKE (Mitchell—Manager of Opposition Business) (17:28): It's a privilege to rise today to follow my good friend the member for Berowra, my neighbour in Sydney, whom I congratulate on his re-election. I obviously welcome the fact that, after a very tough contest, he was returned by the people of Berowra to serve them.
