VETERANS' TOURING GROUP

In reply to Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (5 July 2011).

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Minister Assisting the Premier with South Australia's Strategic Plan, Minister Assisting the Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education): In addition to the $1,000 donation provided to the Veterans' Touring Group from my annual allocation of grants in the 2010-11 financial year, I am advised that an offer of some surplus furniture and equipment was made by the Department of Education and Children's Services to the Veterans' Touring Group. However, I understand that due to logistical reasons involved in transporting the equipment, the Veterans’ Touring Group elected not to take up the offer.
