Victims of Crime Fund

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (15:13): Supplementary: is there a maximum amount that can be paid from the fund and, if so, has it ever been paid?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:14): I thank the honourable member for his question, and I will have to check this but, from memory, I think it is $120,000 for one application. I am quite certain it has been paid, but I will have that double-checked and, if I need to, bring back a variation on that, but I think it's around the order of $120,000. I am pretty certain it has been paid out but I am happy to go and check that.
