Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund RIVERLAND SUSTAINABLE FUTURES FUND The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS Legislative Council RIVERLAND SUSTAINABLE FUTURES FUND The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:37): By way of further supplementary question, will the minister indicate whether further applications will be sought? The Hon. G.E. GAGO Legislative Council Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women RIVERLAND SUSTAINABLE FUTURES FUND The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:37): Again, I have made this very clear so I am disappointed; after saying that I believe he did listen to my previous answers, I have to take it back. I believe I may have misled parliament. He is not listening at all, because I have said in this place before very clearly (and it is there in Hansard and he can go back and check it) that, in relation to the outcome of this grant round, if all the funds were fully expended there would be no further calls for any further grant proposals. If the funds were not fully expended after this process, then further rounds would be put out publicly. The other thing I have raised in this place before is that sometimes a proposal might be put forward and it might be agreed to, and then for some reason the recipient is not able to proceed with their grant and they might withdraw from that, and those moneys then become available back to the grant. The Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins interjecting: The Hon. G.E. GAGO Legislative Council The Hon. G.E. GAGO: This is not confusing; this is not rocket science. This is common sense, and any moneys that are not fully expended from this particular grant round will continue in the fund and another round will be made available for grant applications to be made. It is not rocket science—it is really d'oh head sort of stuff.
