The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

In March 2020 in response to the impacts of COVID-19, the government announced the establishment of a $300 million Business and Jobs Support Fund. As announced in the 2020-21 Budget the government has subsequently added a further $230 million to the fund, bringing the total value of the Business and Jobs Support Fund to $530 million.

The Budget Measures Statement (pages 7 and 8) released as part of the 2020-21 budget outlined all of the approvals and expected timing of total payments from the Business and Jobs Support Fund.
