LOTTERYWEST GRANTS — VICTORY LIFE CENTRE
26. Hon
PETER COLLIER to the Leader of the
House representing the Premier:
I refer to the Lotterywest grants
program.
The PRESIDENT: You can take
off your mask.
Hon PETER COLLIER: Oh, I can;
I apologise. Thank you, Madam President. That sounds much better and it feels
better.
(1) Other than
the Margaret Court Community Outreach, have any organisations or churches had
their Lotterywest grant application rejected because the values of that organisation
or church did not align with those of Lotterywest?
(2) If yes to
(1), which organisation or organisations, church or churches, and what
particular values did not align with those of Lotterywest?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Yes. Lotterywest's
policy is not to support churches for their faith-based endeavours.
(2) Lotterywest does not publicly
discuss grants outcomes, other than with the grant applicant.
