          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:54):</by>  I do have another question sir, if I may. My question is again to the Premier. Was the Premier aware that the taxpayer-funded One Community was approved by his department on the very day of the formal application for which it was made?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1812">The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:55):</by>  No, I am not aware of the circumstances of the approval. All that I have been assured of is the approvals were carried out in accordance with proper processes. But that is a matter that will be reviewed by the Auditor-General, and we will abide his observations in that matter. The simple truth of the matter is that we have routinely funded community groups to stand out and fight for South Australia, and we will continue to do so. I expect proper processes to be observed, and I have received no advice that suggests anything other than that.</text>
