I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The minister is disappointed that of the $70 million
announced by the federal government, over $57 million has been allocated
outside of the forward estimates and beyond 2023–24.
(1)–(2) The state
contribution and funding allocations are being considered as part of the budget
process.
(3) Not applicable.
