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 House of Assembly Dunstan Premier Grandparents for Grandchildren SA The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:02): I'm happy— Ms Stinson House of Assembly Ms Stinson: It's pretty simple. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly 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 House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Lee is warned. Members interjecting: The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Well, they are a very good organisation— The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —and we don't think there would be any reason to suggest— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —that they wouldn't receive funding— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —should they meet the requirements that are contained within the budget.
