I
refer to the $2 million drawn from the Criminal Property Confiscation Grants
fund, and I ask:
(a) has
agreement been reached regarding the distribution of the outstanding balance
from the $2 million;
(i) which
organisations will receive funds and how much will each organisation receive;
(a) No.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) The distribution of funds will be made following tripartite discussions involving the Department of Justice, Legal Aid WA and the Community Legal Centres Association (WA). These discussions are expected to take place shortly as the new Director of Legal Aid only commenced on 7 May 2018. The $2 million allocation is applicable to the 2018/19 financial year.
