The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:19): Supplementary: is the Malinauskas government concerned that more money seems to be going to make arts buildings work health and safety compliant than actually going to support the arts in this state at the moment?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:19): I thank the honourable member for her question. I think the answer is, unfortunately, it is impossible to have one without the other. If you don't have art spaces that are safe and able to be open to the public it is very difficult, then, to have the programs within those buildings.
