are to be taken into account:
(a) the potential for employment growth;
(b) new technologies;
(c) innovative processes;

non-government investment.
(3) Subsection (2) does not limit the matters that may be taken into
account.

of financial assistance to:

financial assistance to a person, or a body, other than a State may be

between the Commonwealth and the person or body; or
(b) without any terms and conditions.
(4) An agreement under paragraph (2)(a) or (3)(a) may be entered into by
any Minister on behalf of the Commonwealth.
