I refer to the 2004-2005 Budget Statements, Volume 3, page 762, Details of controlled Grants and Subsidies which states that $401, 000 was allocated for maritime safety grants in 2002-2003 but no funding allocations have been make for 2003/2004, 2004/2005 or any future years and ask will the Minister advise, if the Government has a commitment to maritime safety, why is there no allocation for it in budgets post 2003?

In regard to the amount of $401,000 under Details of Controlled Grants and Subsidies was in fact a Commonwealth grant under the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) provided funds to Western Australia to establish a marine safety communications system following the closure of the Coast Radio Stations around Australia. The grant from the Commonwealth was a one-off payment. All the Commonwealth funds were expended on this system.
