I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) The
Perth Theatre Trust is responsible for managing and operating a number of key
cultural venues on behalf of the Western Australian community. The primary
purpose of PTT venues is for cultural and artistic expression. Commercial hires
are a secondary consideration. However, PTT decisions will always respect the
values of diversity, equality and inclusion. The PTT's venue hire
policy is under review. The decision to refuse the Australian Christian Lobby
hire request has been rescinded.
