SCHOOLIES FESTIVAL

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (15:21): I have a supplementary question. The minister would probably be aware that Encounter Youth, along with a significant number of volunteers, does great work at Victor Harbor every year during Schoolies Week. Can the minister advise whether the government is funding Encounter Youth; if so, for how much?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy) (15:21): As I have just said, the government has involved Encounter Youth in conducting these seminars and has paid an additional $5,000 in state government grants for that specific program. I am not sure to what that is in addition, but I can certainly find out; I can also find out about any other moneys that we pay Encounter Youth for those or any other services.
