HILDYARD (Reynell—Minister for Child Protection, Minister for Women and the Prevention of Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:57):</by>  Thank you again to the member for the question. What I would say in relation to that question first of all is that we have already made a contribution—most recently, as he knows, but also when we have been requested. As a former Labor government, we made a very firm decision to contribute in total $1.8 million over those three cycles, those requests: 2013, 2017.</text>
        <text id="20240912eb240f3df5c647ce90000763">We talked about 2021, where that cycle request for assistance was not provided, but then we provided that $100,000 earlier this year. So, we have contributed. As I have been clear about in my previous answer and as the Premier was very clear about, obviously we will consider the request that has now been made and certainly share information post that consideration.</text>
