Citadel Secure

In reply to Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (22 February 2024).

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer, Minister for Defence and Space Industries):

1. I am not aware of Citadel receiving any state government funding since it was established in 2019.

2. I am advised that staff from various government agencies have met with representatives of Novafast, DST Group, the New Zealand Defence Force, Cubic and Resonate in the normal course of defence, trade and other relevant state industry business. Further, I can advise;

The Deputy Premier attended and delivered remarks at the opening of the Novafast office on 28 June 2022.

I am not aware of any state government funding being provided to any of these firms.

3. As no state government funding has been provided to Citadel or the firms listed, it follows that no such government funding could have been provided in turn to Citadel.
