          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:17):</by>  A commitment had been made by the former treasurer, not only to that particular church but also to a number of Greek churches throughout metropolitan Adelaide, and I am happy to put that on the public record as well, and part of that commitment was paid in the 2018-19 year after the election. Consistent with that, I think the former treasurer also made a commitment to another organisation, a three-year funding commitment, which required me, out of that particular fund, to make a continuing payment to that particular organisation. I think that was at a lower level of funding.</text>
