Small Business Development Fund

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:27): Supplementary question: I thank the minister for his response. Can the minister actually indicate whether or not any of the funds will be paid to small businesses before 30 June this year, or is the process that has been outlined one which will mean that grants will not be made available in this financial year?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:28): As to the exact timing I will refer to the minister in another place and bring back a reply for the honourable member.
