What did the government get for its investment? The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Premier Minister for State Development AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR SOCIAL INNOVATION The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development): I have been advised of the following: 1.	The government will not be investing any further core operating or seed funding into the Australian Centre for Social Innovation (TACSI). However funding either through project partnerships or sponsorship arrangements may occur from time to time, as is normal practice with any non-government organisation delivering specific services or projects for government. 2.	The Australian Centre for Social Innovation (TACSI) exists to identify and support innovative ideas, methods and people to accelerate positive social change. Its establishment was a key recommendation of Adelaide Thinker in Residence, Geoff Mulgan. An overview of their major projects is available at http://www.tacsi.org.au/our-projects/.
