QuestionView source ↗
I refer to page 672 of the 2009–2010 State Budget, where funding for arts and film organizations and projects has been cut by 25 per cent from $48.2 million in 2008–2009, to just $36.6 million in 2009–2010 and I ask:
(1) Which organizations that have received funding triennially that does not expire this year, will not be funded next budget year?
(2) Which triennially-funded organisations will not be funded in the coming four years when they are up for renewal?

(1-2) The premise of this question is incorrect. The budget for arts organisations and projects has not been cut by 25 per cent rather a cash flow variation in arts funding (formerly Ignite) means that most of the funding for this program over four years occurred in the first year (2008-09).
