Micro Finance Fund

The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (15:14): My question is for the Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation. Has the panel for the assessment of grants from the South Australian Micro Finance Fund been appointed? Who are its members and what are their qualifications?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:14): I thank the honourable member for his very important question and his interest in these areas. He is a very diligent and hardworking member who, many agree, will soon probably be leader of the Liberal Party in this council, so I congratulate him on his question and encourage him to keep up the very hard and diligent work. Welcome back, the Hon. David Ridgway!

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway interjecting:

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: You're a fantastic leader! In relation to the question on the SA Micro Finance Fund, the initiative was recently announced. There is not a time limit for applications: it will be done on a rolling basis. I will get an update not only on who will be making the decisions on approving the grants but also on how applications are proceeding and I will bring that back.
