Small Business Development Fund

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:59): Supplementary question: if the minister indicates that the grants applications are open immediately, how come the information available on the website indicates that applications open on 1 July?

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) (14:59): I can check on that for the honourable member. Obviously, it's not in my ministerial area but I was informed that they will open immediately, and they will be assessed and payments can be made from 1 July. I will double-check on that for the honourable member. It's not in my area, so I will check on that and hopefully bring back an answer tomorrow for him.
