Multicultural Grants Program

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:24): My question is to the Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs.

1. Could the minister advise the house: what exactly is the process for determining grants in multicultural affairs?

2. Does the minister ever see the list of proposed grants before they are approved?

3. Does the assistant minister ever provide advice about proposed multicultural grants?

The Hon. J.S. LEE (14:24): I thank the honourable member for her question. In terms of the grants process, we have four different grants streams. The streams are Advance Together, Celebrate Together, Expand Together and Stronger Together. They are published on our website and there are independent assessment panels to make, I suppose, assessments on the criteria of the grants, and it meets the guidelines that are approved by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet via the office of multicultural affairs.

The PRESIDENT: Supplementary, the deputy leader.
