South Australian Museum

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:59): My question is to the Minister for Arts. How much money is being given to the Museum this year by private donors? What action is the minister taking to restore philanthropic giving levels and the confidence of the Museum's major donors in the institution?

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts) (14:59): I wouldn't have any figures off the top of my head and I am not sure the Museum would for this financial year, given we are in week eight of this financial year. I am sure I can take it on notice and provide what information is available. Obviously the 2024-25 financial accounts are not yet done as we are only part way through the year, but I will take that on notice and come back to the member with any information that I can attain.
