SARDI Funding

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (14:45): Supplementary: is slashing funding from $33 million in 2010 to just $12.3 million in 2025 the way the government demonstrates its support for an organisation? And what does it do to organisations it does not value?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:45): I don't accept the basis of the question. As I mentioned, I would need to look particularly at the line that he is referring to, but certainly since we came to government 3½ years ago we have been very conscious of maintaining the funding to SARDI.
