LIFELINE

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:14): I have a supplementary question. Given that Uniting Care Wesley, now Uniting Communities, raised this issue of the lack of Lifeline funding in the Adelaide centre with the government, in what time frame would funding be found through the Department for Health and Ageing?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:14): That is not a question I can answer. As I said, we work with a range of agencies. We do not cherrypick agencies and throw funding at just the one: we work with as many agencies as we can that can develop quality programs. My advice is that the Department for Health and Ageing is in consultation with Lifeline Adelaide to work on, and explore with them, funding options for their programs.
