MULTICULTURAL INTERESTS — BUDGET ALLOCATION
I have a supplementary question. If $1 million has been allocated to the Office of Multicultural Interests, surely the minister must have a clue about what it is being spent on. If it is not being spent on advocacy groups or staffing, what is it being spent on, and why is the minister not funding groups such as the Ethnic Communities Council of Western Australia? Mr G.M. CASTRILLI
