refer to the cut of $60 million a year by the Turnbull government to the
National School Chaplaincy Programme. How much of that money did Western Australia
receive each year?

thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
The
National School Chaplaincy Programme covers the period 2015–18. Funding
of $7 405 155 per annum is distributed to Western Australian schools to
