I have a supplementary question. Did the minister meet with

AnswerView source ↗
No, we did not. This was something that came up in the final
stages of the budget as we moved towards having to make significant cuts in
order to get the budget to where it finished up, so it was one of those
decisions that was made. I was very pleased to be able to keep the funding as
it was for the current financial year, and I will re-present —
Mr P. Papalia interjected.
Dr K.D. HAMES : No,
it is not; that is next year. The member should have another look. This year it
is the same.
Mr P. Papalia interjected.
The SPEAKER : Just
through the Chair, thank you.
Dr K.D. HAMES : No,
the 2015–16 budget is the same; 2016–17 is when it starts
reducing. I will be making those submissions booking towards the next budget.
