QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Mowanjum Art and Culture Centre that opened in 2007 under the Labor Government, and I ask:
(a) how much Royalties for Regions funding was provided to Mowanjum;
(b) given that the total cost of the Centre is more than $4 million, funded by local community, industry, the Federal Government and the Gallop and Carpenter Governments, why is there now a plaque installed outside the centre implying that it was only funded by Royalties for Regions;
(c) why aren’t the other funding contributors included on this plaque; and
(d) who directed the plaque to be installed?
