I thank the member for the question.
(1)–(2) In
2018, the McGowan government provided a $1.5 million grant to the Royal
Agricultural Society of Western Australia to enable increased access to the
show over a three-year period. This funding was provided through Lotterywest.
This included packages for half-price kids days, half-price seniors days,
children with disabilities and their families, multicultural groups, and
regional families attending the show in 2018. We understand that the Royal
Agricultural Society is preparing a similar range of packages for this year's
show as part of this grant program.
