HOMELESSNESS NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT — WESTERN AUSTRALIAN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
I refer to the ministerial statement made earlier today on the WA homelessness national partnership agreement that states on the second page that additional funding of $4.2 million per annum for community organisations to employ 35 full-time employees in country locations will be finalised in February 2010. Given it is now March, has that additional funding been finalised? Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY

I thank the member for some notice of this question. Yes, I had a meeting with Julie Waylan today before I came into this place. It will be finalised very shortly. Hon Sue Ellery : Is that February or March? Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY : It will be shortly, as I said, so it must be March. Hon Sue Ellery : I think that’s March. Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY : Yes. Oh, dear, the Leader of the Opposition has picked me up on a mistake; how very clever of her. Yes, it will be in March.
