Belgravia Apparel

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Leader of the Opposition) (14:16): My question is to the Premier. Has Belgravia Apparel been requested to return the grant money and, if not, why not?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:16): No, they haven't, and that is because Belgravia Apparel received that grant subject to all of the appropriate checks and processes that the Department of State Development would apply when providing grants to private organisations—no different to a grant to a sporting club, no different to a grant to an industrial organisation, no different to a grant to a business—they are all subject to very thorough scrutiny. That was examined during the course of the Ombudsman's report and was found by the Ombudsman as such.

The SPEAKER: Before I call the leader, the member for Hammond and the member for Florey: you are on your final warning. You will be joining the member for Unley in the tuckshop if there is any more of that noise.
