Community Infrastructure Grant Program

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:42): My question is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. Can the minister confirm that $50,000 given to the Eyre to There Aviation company for an electric plane trial was funded through the Community Infrastructure Grant Program managed by the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing, and did that payment meet the grant program criteria?

The SPEAKER: I should say at the outset that that question 2 does assume a number of matters. I had anticipated that leave would be sought, but it wasn't. I am going to permit the question in any event, but I remind the member of the standing orders.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer) (14:42): For the member's benefit, election commitments and the entirety of election commitments—even if they were deemed or seemed to be given to community organisations or community clubs—not all of those were necessarily managed by the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing. There are other agencies relevantly and appropriately placed to organise those arrangements after cabinet had given that approval. As for that particular one, I am happy to come back to him and outline which agency organised those arrangements and provide him with those appropriate details.

Mr Whetstone interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, member for Chaffey! Supplementary question from the member for Colton.
