Question Without Notice No. 72 asked in the Legislative Council on 11 May 2021 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

LOTTERYWEST GRANTS — VICTORY LIFE CENTRE

72. Hon PETER COLLIER to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:

I refer to the proposed changes to the ''Our commitment'' document of Lotterywest to update equality, diversity and inclusion, which have been delayed due to the controversy surrounding the rejection of the Margaret Court Community Outreach application and which were requested by me under supplementary information E1 during the budget estimates hearing on Thursday, 19 November 2020.

(1) Will the Premier provide a copy of the proposed changes, as requested on 19 November 2020?

(2) If not, why not?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) Yes. It was proposed that the ''Our commitment'' statement in the Lotterywest strategic plan be amended as follows. The present ''Our commitment'' statement reads —

We are a government enterprise that aims to be the preferred provider of lottery games, optimise delivery, and maximise returns and value to Western Australians.

(2) Not applicable.
