Grandparents for Grandchildren SA

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (15:02): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Why is the minister providing only one year of guaranteed funding to Grandparents for Grandchildren, despite stating in this place and in the media that they would receive three years of guaranteed funding?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:02): I'm happy—

Ms Stinson: It's pretty simple.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —to take that because it is an issue that I have been dealing with myself. My understanding of the agreement with Grandparents for Grandchildren is that it is a three-year agreement. There is one year with guaranteed funding, but we absolutely would envisage that they will meet performance requirements that are required after that.

Mr Mullighan interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee is warned.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Well, they are a very good organisation—

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —and we don't think there would be any reason to suggest—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —that they wouldn't receive funding—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —should they meet the requirements that are contained within the budget.
