I refer to the media statement released by Graham Jacobs on 22 November 2010 entitled, ‘State Government to provide new support for LifelineWA’, and I ask -
Why only a one-off payment for such a vital service?

A one off grant was made to support Lifeline WA's telephone counselling service 13 11 14. The Mental Health Commission intends to implement a review of current telephone counselling services and future needs during 2011.
The Mental Health Commission is currently negotiating with Lifeline WA the possibility of extending financial support pending the completion of the proposed review.
