Ms BADGER – Minister, I just want to circle back to some questions from the Legislative Council Estimates yesterday and whether we can have some more clarity over the funding for the family violence peak body. There’s $170,000 for this financial year from the Tasmanian government, then you said there was $200,000 from the federal government for the following two financial years. Is that $200,000 in addition to another, and ongoing, $170,000 from the State government each year? So, we should see a total of more than $200,000?
Ms OGILVIE – I’ve just received some information on that. There is $170,000 annually in the Family and Sexual Violence Action Plan as part of the $12.5 million to fund the alliance. It was allocated from 2022‑27 and was approved by the then‑minister for this purpose. The $200,000 funding is in addition to the above, in recognition of the feedback from the alliance members that the allocated amount was not enough. It is $200,000 annually for 2024‑26. Ms Gray, is there anything you’d like to add to that?
Ms BADGER – Just to be clear, because it wasn’t in the line budget, that is ongoing, the $170,000 – plus the $200,000 from the federal government?
Ms OGILVIE – Yes.
