Multicultural Affairs

672 The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay) (25 August 2021). What was the split between metropolitan and regional for recipients of grant funding pertaining to multicultural affairs?

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

In 2020-21, regional grant recipients received 5 per cent of the total grant funding, and metropolitan grant recipients received 95 per cent.

Multicultural organisations tend to be based in the metropolitan area. Only 3 per cent of the grant applicants in 2020-21 were located in regional areas.’
