TARZIA (Hartley—Leader of the Opposition) (14:35):</by>  Thank you, sir, I will take that on. My question is to the Premier. How many businesses impacted by the algal bloom have applied for small business support grants, and how many grants have been approved?</text>

MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Police) (14:35):</by>  I am advised that, for the fishery-related grants, there have been 11 applications, which either have been paid or are still being assessed, and only three that have been submitted and declined. Of the small business support grants, there are 30 that have been either paid or 17 being assessed. So, of the more than 30 applications, only six have been declined.</text>
